My favourite Stephen King book to date. Short, simple, easy to read and very moving. A story of a little girl lost in the woods and her struggle for survival.

Not too bad. It's a mid-career selection, and one of the hits rather than the misses.

A great, quick little read from King. I'm not a big baseball fan but I still found myself engrossed in the story with all the references. Loved the atmosphere that's painted, you really feel for the main character. I really enjoyed the ending on this one.

probably the least scary book he's written, but still great nonetheless.

Very solid book about survival.
Not everything an author makes needs to be a specific genre. I don't take this much as horror. Sure it has horror elements to it but ultimately it was a thriller about someone lost in the woods.
You get that feeling of fear and hopelessness. It's good; very good.
I think people who say it's boring are going in with the mindset it's going to be like IT. It's not.
Go into this with an open mind.
