Creative survival scenario. Very character driven which i enjoy most about King's books and you will feel sad about these boys. Takes the strange concept and explores it thoroughly; reading it while exhausted at work really made it come to life. Depiciton of minorities is very dodgy, though you can see the author is not hateful, just stereotypical.
