5 King's strong suit is not this style of novel. He has tried many times;BoB is his greatest success. A great read!

I enjoyed this novel quite a bit. It's been a while since I last read it. Must be time for a re-read. ;)

Four from me. I really enjoyed it as I read it but not much of it stuck with me all these years later. It's one I'd enjoy reading again someday.

3. This book is average for me from every standpoint that I try to look at it from. Idea, plot, character development, originality, etc. There is nothing that stands out about this book. I didnt dislike it. But, I would NEVER recommend it.

After many moons Steve writes something a little bit more palatable.
Very cookie cutter but it seems as though he's getting his groove back.

Same for me. On first glance I was going to vote 3 b/c I couldn't recall too many details from my reading when it was first published. But I *do* recall the very positive impression I got from it. I know I liked it quite a bit. Thus "4" is the number.

Confession time: I can't even remember it. I tried a reread 2 years ago, but I was distracted by something shiny.
