My favorite of all King's works. The last page evoked more raw emotion-- WTFFFF, and anger-- from me than any other book has come close to doing. Plus I'm a believer in simplicity in terms of style, and Bachman is bare-bones King.

GSD: I urge you to make it your next King read! I call it Lord of the Flies on crack; my lady friend (who is reading it right now) called it the Hunger Games without girls. It's epic :harrier:

Yeah, I know it's a highly praised King book. I've already got a copy of it, and I'm waiting for that perfect moment to start it (you know, when the urge is strong to read a specific book) so I can enjoy it to it's full potential. :)
