my first stephen king book; not a huge fan of his writing style. after about halfway through the book i was bored of it and was just reading it to be done. the premise was scary enough i guess, just wish the writing could match up to it.

Wow! That's all I have to say. It is a slow build up, but once it gets going, it's a roller coaster of emotions!

I didn't absolutely love this book, but one thing is certain, I will read Stephen King again.

I love his writing and his character development for all the people in the book but I think I was expecting a whole lot more horror and for it to actually scare me, but it didn't. I was waiting the whole book for something extraordinary to happen and wasn't pleased with what I got.

Hey, horror might not be my thing, or maybe it was just this book. But I overall liked the writing and the characters and it had a pretty good story to it too.
