King's talent really shines through in this one and has not only a compelling plot but also a great amount of metaphorical depth. For those who loved 'The Shining', there is also a fun Overlook Easter egg hidden in there.

I don't think I'm really a King fan... This book is WAY too long. For an academic purpose discussion author/fan ownership of art i'd be cool, but for recreational reading it wasn't for me.
