I gave this a three. Probably my second-to-least favorite of the series.

The weakest of all the DT books. The only reason I kept reading it at times was because I HAD to finish the story. This chapter of it needed some rewrites though. It gets a 2.

I think this one is great, and to me the fastest paced book in the series. Five.

Another 5 from me
A close second to LISEY'S STORY, which I detested. I could barely read SOS, absolutely (didn't like it a lot). Words in parentheses are my attempt to be polite about my true impression of this book. A negative 10.
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...

I don't understand any of this.
Not much downside to it that I can see. Comparatively speaking, I mean.
It's a pretty good read.
I felt the story was bloated, overly long, and pretty much unnecessary as a novel in itself. I don't mean that the entire story was unnecessary, just that it could have been trimmed up a lot and split into the books before and after.

Shit Fire and save on matches!!!
I was thinking of W&G when I voted "I didn't like it." I thought SOS was "good."
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
bears think it's the unnecessary that makes the best part of King's novels...
don't worry, I have edited the poll accordingly

I gave this one a 4.
I would have given it a 3 without Rev. Harrigan and John Cullum; who are my most favorite of the 'minor' characters in the series.
I gave it a 3. It was my least favorite of the series.

3 from me as well. The whole character of Susanna/Detta/Odetta never really did anything for me. The saga ROCKS when it comes to Roland, Eddie, Jake, Oy, Cuthbert, Alain, the various incarnations of Walter/Marten/Flagg, and the minor characters both hero and villian. The saga BOGS DOWN when it focuses on Susanna/Detta/Odetta. I never did even buy the "true love" thing with Eddie. They should have left her on the beach.
(Sorry, had to get that out of my system)
3.
I actually really enjoyed a number of passages from this book. I think it deserves a 5.
I regret leaving my soul
I forgot I needed it, to feel
maybe when I die
I'll just grab it real quick
I really don't like Susannah.
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.
