Strength of Plot: A

I think it is the best plot Sai King has ever created. The others that are really good are Wolves, Wizard and Glass, and 11/22/63 (I might have missed something, though). Most of his other novels lack a plot dramatically: they are, mainly, a set of circumstances in which people are observed.

Character Development: A

both Johnny and Greg are unforgettable, and so are the minor characters

Quality of the Story's Ending: A

with the biggest plus imaginable

straight a's from me, one of his best, quite coherent for KingBasically true, but still funny, considering that it's all fever dreams and trippy visions.

I'm really happy this novel finally made it to the second round and is doing so well so far! Straight As from me.

Maybe next time we can have Firestarter or Cujo advance? :)
