brilliant writing! brilliant story! I held off on reading this almost a decade ago because King was associated with horror, but this book is more a thriller-comedy than a horror story. Maybe I can slowly tiptoe into King's other works now?

one of my favourite parts about this book is how all of Trisha's phrases and euphemisms to herself are borrowed from the people around her. 

Also, "Who do you call when your wind-shield's busted?"
