Diary of Ellen Rimbauer

So in the middle of the second book to the Belgariad series I took a break and read The Diary Ellen Rimbauer Life: My Life at Rose Red is a 2001 novel by Ridley Pearson. The book is written as nonfiction accompaniment to the movie Rose Red.  Whereas the movie concentrates on the happenings of a group of psychics assembled by Dr. Joyce Reardon, the book is a editted copy of Ellen Rimbauer's diary which fuels Dr. Reardon's desire to enter Rose Red.  It answered a few questions I had when watching the movie and is an interesting read.  It definitely lacks the signature of Stephen King and noone who reads King and has read the Diary would be fooled into thinking King or his wife had anything to do with writing the novel itself.  The excerpts edited from the book by Dr. Reardon were indicated on being on the university website that Dr. Reardon worked but this also is a fictional website and no longer exists and those edited pages can no longer be viewed.  This is a bummer as I would have liked to read a few of those pages if for nothing more than interest at what they held.
