This one is also one of my favorites. It never rates too high anywhere though.

I agree. Highly underrated, and IMO better than Carrie, 'Salem's Lot, and The Shining.

ABB, but honestly, I think most of my lower grading stems from the faded memory I have of this book. It has been a long time, and I don't remember very well.
