I'm really bummed this gets no respect generally. The threes are leading! I don't get what it is about this novel that turns people off. I thought it was an amazingly tense and weird (in a good way) book.

I loved this book because of the subject matter. Both sides of the story from the "earthbound" to the "painting".

Thanks, Jean. It's not until the polls that I realize just how much of his writing I have yet to experience. :)

There's definitely plenty to read. Here's a nice quick checklist: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_King_bibliography
