Critics' reviews
- "'Stephen King's Thinner' has the outlines of Shakespearean tragedy and the intellectual content of a jack o'lantern."
- "Never quite scary, never funny for long, never enough over-the-top. It's never compelling plotwise, either"
- "Thinner has its meaty moments, but overall, it's Stephen King lite. Less taste, less filling, less fun."
