Another 4-4.5 for me. (Gee, when do we get to vote on The Tommyknockers and The Regulators so I can give out some 1 votes? LOL)
Firestarter is another one where King really gives us some good characters. The saga of the dad and Charlie was compelling to me.

Three for me. Good, not great.
"only so-so" for bears...
Aw, Jean... I thought it was quite well-written and fast-paced. I loved it. :onfire: I somehow failed to be interested in either the kid or her father - a rare thing with bears because they love reading about kids.

Brilliant ,concise every word perfectly placed and fast moving. It always sticks in my mind.I grab hardcovers whenever i see a better quality condition.

"The Shop" is one my most missed things about older SK.
The poll has closed. Firestarter has earned a FAS (final average score) of 4.063291139 or 81.27%, placing 3rd in this bracket. It will not be moving on to Round 2. In 2009, Firestarter also placed 3rd with a FAS of 3.930232558, so it gained 0.133058581 (+3.39%) this time.

Damn, Pablo! Good job!
Also, we're a tough crowd if 4.063291139 / 5 isn't enough to advance.
