Straight B's on this one as well. It was good, but I think King's done better.

Manohman, with each one 3 choices are not enough....

A for entertainment because it's one of my favorite of Stephen King's works.

B for memorability because while I remember more or less what went on, it's not as vivid in my memory as other works of Stephen King's.

B for plot delivery because while the stories connected more or less all right, it felt more like a "theme and variations" kind of thing than, say, a story and four sequels in a single volume.

B's for all three. I like Hearts in Atlantis but I accept there are better King stories.
