bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aw, Jean... I thought it was quite well-written and fast-paced. I loved it.
Another 4-4.5 for me. (Gee, when do we get to vote on The Tommyknockers and The Regulators so I can give out some 1 votes? LOL)
Firestarter is another one where King really gives us some good characters. The saga of the dad and Charlie was compelling to me.
Three for me. Good, not great.

I somehow failed to be interested in either the kid or her father - a rare thing with bears because they love reading about kids.Aw, Jean... I thought it was quite well-written and fast-paced. I loved it.

Brilliant ,concise every word perfectly placed and fast moving. It always sticks in my mind.I grab hardcovers whenever i see a better quality condition.
"The Shop" is one my most missed things about older SK.
The poll has closed. Firestarter has earned a FAS (final average score) of 4.063291139 or 81.27%, placing 3rd in this bracket. It will not be moving on to Round 2. In 2009, Firestarter also placed 3rd with a FAS of 3.930232558, so it gained 0.133058581 (+3.39%) this time.
Damn, Pablo! Good job!
Also, we're a tough crowd if 4.063291139 / 5 isn't enough to advance.
It'll take a lot more than words and guns,
A whole lot more than riches and muscle.
The hands of the many must join as one.
And together we'll cross the river.
