This is only the third Stephen King book I’ve read (other two are The Green Mile (very good) and The Dark Tower book 1 (very bad).

This book is GOOD. I wish the movie adaptions played with the “retelling” of the whole White Incident. 

Maybe I should read more King?

I liked it. I did the read/listen to it thing and I found the 50th anniversary version and learned that he was going to throw this one away. It was his wife that read the first part and wanted him to keep going. XD

I also found the writing style interesting. Not like how I normally read Stephen King before. It was an interesting look back.
