4 from me, but I am letting Haven (tv series) influence me on this one.

One of my absolute favorites.

[Jean]

I've never seen it in a bookstore...

[Robert Fulman]

I agree that Haven has increased my love for this book significantly (although the book and show share approximately 3% in common).

[divemaster]

Considering I read it but don't recall much in the way of details--I guess it must have been "average."

If you are looking for this book don't look in the horror section, you won't find it there. It is in the detective/mystery section.
Solid 5. I love mysteries and this is a good one.

Solid 5. I love mysteries and this is a good one.no, I normally buy them in Paris, and everything under "Stephen King" is kept together in their Foreign Languages sections

Never read. I have the S/L but I wont read it. I need a reader copy.

[Robert Fulman]

Here is a syfy page with videos on SK references in Haven (http://www.syfy.com/haven/stephenking). In case anyone is wondering, here are the things the book and show have in common:


There is a young woman, and two older men who work at a newspaper. At some point in the past, there was a guy who died under mysterious circumstances, and they call the guy "The Colorado Kid".

last chance to vote! the poll is closing!

phew just caught it, this was a strange little book. It had a lovely meandering story - that told a story for the story sake. And I did actually like it, although i didnt think I would

I got the book due to the programme haven, and although it has a few connections, they are very tenuous.

going off thread for 2 mins sorry - The programme is very good though, I reccomend it to all king readers, they have a connection to any Stephen King book in every episode, and I always try and guess - some are more obvious than others

I loved this book but I gave it a 4.
