It's interesting how even the vote on this one is.
I put in that it was "good". I've read it several times, and basically have that impression of it.
I voted good. I liked the way King wove the outside sources into the story.

i voted average for this one. i don't know what it was about it but it just didn't do anything for me. it was kind of like munching my way through a bag of stale chocolate. of course i'm going to eat it it's chocolate. . . . you know? :lol:
I voted average. It was good, but it wasn't spectacular.
It was ok. It was one of the latest Sk books I read so it's fresh in my memory, but it is nowhere near the top of my "Favorites" list.
A 4 for me. Pretty good book.
Voted "5". Love this book.
I voted 4. It scared the crap out of me first time I read it (I lived alone at that point) and listened to the audio a few months ago and it was better than I remembered.
I like the different perspectives age can give you on a story like this.
Personally, I voted 3. To me it was just average. Certainly an early work, somewhat raw. It has its charm, of course.
Even though it could be argued that it's rawness is due to King's age and experience as a writer at that point - it's what lent it credibility to me. It sounded very much the voice of a teenage girl, I don't think he could have pulled it off as well if he'd written it later in life.Quote:

Went with average on this one. It was ok, but I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as his other stories I've read.
I thought it was a brilliant teenage story written by a man about a teenage girl who's not average. Still, I can't give it a 5 since I found it good but not awesomely so.
For a first novel, It was pretty good overall.
I read this for the first time pretty recently, I agree with the comments by Darkthoughts and Wizardsrainbow. I thought it was good.
