It's an ok read. BUT I gotta say this is one time the movie was better. The book jumped around too much. It was hard to stay interested in it. I can NOT recommend this book.
Stephen King is one of my favorite authors. I've read several of his works, and I've loved most of them. This one is definitely in my top 5 ! You'll be in misery if you neglect to read this book!
You know how when you order a seafood bucket full of good stuff and then they fill the excess space with clams or something less appealing? This book is full of clams. The book could have been cut in half had it not had all the excess, and I would have adored the book. I thought to myself... Can we PLEASE stop talking about the freaking pilings? I found myself skipping over paragraphs and, in some cases, entire pages just to get back to the meat of the story. And thank goodness I read this on my Kindle because I was constantly looking up words I'd never heard before and Kindle does that for me. It made for a very long read.
Excellent novel
I have put this one off for decades, but finally decided to read it and consider it one of his finest books.
