I read this when it first came out and remember thinking it was "pretty good." Then when the TV mini-series was announced a couple of years ago I re-read it and realized it was better than just "pretty good." So I rated it 4.

(I never did watch the TV show. I'm sure I would have been disappointed given how much I enjoyed the written story.)

I think I managed about 20 minutes of the miniseries.

One of the best indeed.
The only King-book that made me cry....

Even though King too often turns to writers as the primary protagonists, it works very well in this novel. And, for the most part, the narrative tone is understated, quiet and really creepy. Plus, I really liked reading a novel where the lawyer (my profession; we ain't all bad) is a good guy. 4.5.

Surprising to see votes all over the place on this. So far as many 2.5s as there are 5s. Weird.
