4 - because, as it was the case with the Insomnia, the last 8th or so was much too long and fussy; only here, it was also pointlessy long. Loved all the rest of it, though.

bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I vacillated between a 3 and a 4, but in the end I gave it a 4, because overall the story was good.

Sorryyyyyyy i haven't read it yetOriginally Posted by pablo
I really enjoyed it up to the midway point of the novel, but gradually grew disenchanted. I think it's a middling effort.
I disliked this one. It gets a 1.
Margaret Emmie Mackey Catoe, you are, have been, and always will be my soulmate, and I love you.
Con todo mi corazon, por todo de mis dias. And I always will, in this life and into the next.

Haven't read it yet, but just wanted to say : Good Gan that's a horrible cover.
I loved it for most of it, but just a bit too much cerebral crap in the end.
I've never read this one, yet.

4 from me. I liked this book.
I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.
And the people bowed and prayed, to the cell phone god they made...
2 from me. I only liked the stuff in Jonesy's "dogan".
Me Too.
This was the only book i actually didnt finish because i couldnt take how dumb it was. I had about 50 pages left.
Sorry Steve, but are you sure Dean Koontz didnt write this?
One of the worst.
I loved the dogan part. If the rest was up to that, I would have given it 5+. But there were other parts I loved - the ka-tet, which I think is King's real forte; then, the whole military line.

I thought it was the military stuff that really put me off, but then I read The Tommyknockers afterward and I had no problem with the military stuff in that story, so it was something in the fabric of the story itself that didn't hit the spot.
I didn't word myself very well in my first post. By saying "I only liked the parts in Jonesy's dogan" what I actually meant were, those were the only bits I enjoyed - not that they were mediocre
I liked this one better than most of the newer King novels. It gets a 4. The end was pretty stupid. I didn't like the duddits crap.
