3.5
It's not one of my favorites, but I did enjoy it more than I expected.

Another one I've only read once. I recall thinking the first half of the book or so was really intriguing but then it sortof went downhill. I don't actually remember much detail about the plot and I don't remember any of the characters at all. I did give it a 3.5, because I do recall that the story hooked me pretty well--at least for the first 2/3 of the book.

Very enjoyable, but a bit o.t.t.; a 4.

4

not a 5 only because, as divemaster said, it went downhill at some point.

4.5. Would be a 5 if not for the last 10 pages or so. One of the worst endings EVER!

3. This was one SK novel that I actually put down midway through, and didn't pick it up again for a month. The inter-connectedness of all of the anonymous pranks, which King wove to bring Castle Rock to critical mass, grew a bit tiresome. I finished it, and enjoyed the remainder of the book; but it's not one that I'd likely pick up again.
