the right thing would be a B for the plot, as I gave to The Stand and Needful Things...

I am going to abstain from this vote, it has simply been too long since I read it, and I can't pass fair judgment.

That's my problem as well.
I do remember not liking it very much, though.

B-C-B here. It was "ok" but didn't strike me as "Holy fuck! This is AWESOME!" The only character to really develop at all was the praying boy and "Thanks to JESUS" well... We know the end.
