This is one of those King-books, that if it wasn't for the references, you would forget it was a King-book. It's very character driven and makes you root for the bad guy, with his good moral, and it leaves you with a book hangover, like Blaze did. The blurb talks of a dynamic duo, but I would call it a dynamic triple, counting Bucky too. The developing bond between the three is what makes this story so wonderful. The title is exactly how it should be.
