A's!

Straight As. One of my favorite books of King's. Perhaps Top 3.

[jayson]

Straight A's from me as well. I loved this book the first time and more after two re-reads.

[alinda]

All A's here too, no big surprize, its a great book, a terrific story..loved it!

[obscurejude]

Straight A's for me. Perfectly executed and a representation of King at his very best in all three categories in my opinion.

I'll probably re read this after Black House if I can squeeze it in with the school work.

[Sam]

Straight A's. One of his finest writings.

This was one that I had to read twice to appreciate more fully. A wonderful story that just broke my heart and uplifted it all at once. It's a delicious book where King masterfully does that thing he does so well of writing such a realistic situation that slaps you silly with the fantastic until you're a true believer.

I'm the only "never read" I wanted to see what others put. I'm excited to read this next after JAS. It's nice to see mostlys As were chosen.

A, A, and A. Atropos is one of my favorite King characters. And the plot is very different, original.

[jayson]

A, A, and A. Atropos is one of my favorite King characters. And the plot is very different, original.

Atropos is a bad mother. Definitely a great King antagonist.

Great seeing this book doing so well. :)

[Daghain]

Straight B's. Okay, but not impressed.

[Patrick]

A, A, B.

I've only read this book once, but it was recently. Great story, great characters - the good and the bad.

I liked the ending, however it felt dragged out. Therefore the "B" rating for the ending is because my gut reaction while reading was "Ok, let's wrap this thing up already."

[Darkthoughts]

Another bout of straight A's from me :thumbsup:

[gsvec]

Straight As here, too - one of my fave SKs!

[idk, my bff jill?]

AAA.

Another of my all-time favorite King books.

[mae]

Who said this was one of King's worst? :)
