This is one of those novels that stays with you, quite possibly his darkest novel. I give no spoilers but likely I will never come back to it, based completely upon a pivotal plot point. I just cannot imagine the pain and horror. That being said, it's King at his finest.

My first read on my new Kindle!

I read this book because it was #1 on a lot of "scariest books" lists. I found the end creepy and suspenseful but I was never really scared.

The writing was fantastic and it kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. I definitely really liked it. One of the best books I've read in some time.
