I absolutely love this book. I was my first of Sai King's books, and remains my favorite non-DT book to this day
bears love it, too!

This was maybe the second or third King book I read. It will always be in my top 5 for King. A highly effective novel.
2! I don't remember much about it except for its very SLOW-moving pace.
Loved it!

Made me a SK fan for life, read it when the paperback came out
Wish List:
Any of the following flatsigned or inscribed-
It, Shining, Salems Lot, Mr. Mercedes, The Stand
Brother ARC, Seed ARC
I don't dislike this book but I had trouble getting through it at first. I've only read it completely the one time. Looking forward to revisiting it soon.
Read it 4 or 5 times. Loved it more each time. Top 5 for me. Obviously a 5.
PS. love these polls.

This had the opposite effect on me than Dead Zone did, the first time I read it I thought it was very slow paced and a little 'meh'
However on the second read (and I try to re-read all Kings books twice) I loved it! think I have now re-read it four times, and i love it more each time. Great character development and the story although slow paced is all the richer for it
It was good- slow moving and I was kinda bummed I was never scared @ all reading it but still loved the story.

I really want to read it, but I can't find it anywhere :-(
This is another book I read in high school and then didn't remember anything about it. Re-read it again a couple of years ago and thought it was ok. I put it slightly above The Dead Zone which I didn't like at all.
I think that 'Salem's Lot is one of the best vampire stories ever! Second only to Dracula.
hurry up people and animals, this poll closes tomorrow

The poll has closed. 'Salem's Lot has earned a FAS (final average score) of 4.378378378 or 87.57%, placing 2nd (runner-up) in this bracket. It will be moving on to Round 2.
It doesn't matter now, but I would have rated this book a 3.
I found the revisiting of Father C. in the DT series far more compelling.
Yuck! Blugh! More disgusting throw-up sounds!
