I know I have a potential to vote all A's for nearly all of King works. Though I really try to be objective, I gave this one AAA.

All A's for me. This was a fantastically done book.

All A's. This is one of my top ten King stories. When I got to meet him the first time, this is the book I had to thank him for writing.

BBB.

Nothing about this really captivated me like his other books. That's not to say it was a bad book, i guess its just because of the theme and the story, it didn't endear itself to me as some others have.

lol, jk

I'd give the theme an A, if theme were a category here, but, yes, C~Dog, several things about the story were rather trite.

As for the ending... well, I'm guessing that it is the framework that should be considered as "the ending." Too bad; that really wasn't my favorite part.
