One of my favorite by SK.
Its a strange one for me, the first time I read it I thought it was a fairly good read, not one of my favourites but ok. Now, however I came for a re-read late last year and just could not get into it at all. So I had to go for two, if I book cant sustain me through two read its only so-so
oops...

I read this back in high school and I think it was the first SK book I read all the way through. I remember trying to watch the movie and shutting it off halfway through.
Then sometime last year I re-read because I couldn't remember a single thing about it. Didn't really like it at all.
Another good solid 4. I haven't read it in a while but have been meaning to revisit Johnny Smith.
I love "The Dead Zone." I think this book never gets enough credit.
Never read it. Would like to.

I haven't read this book in years, but when I did, I read it multiple times. It was one of my first few SK books and it left quite a positive impression.

Came pretty close though. A long shot, but still a shot at one of the six wildcard spots at the end of the first round.
I hope it makes it.
touché bear touché lol
I'm not sure how this whole voting thing works. Won't whatever got the highest vote in the first round ultimately win? Are we voting again in each round? Tell me tell me! No wait, don't tell me! I wanna be surprised! lol
you will be surprised many times. It's a very long story... and it's only beginning

The ultimate winner, basically, is the book that ends up first overall score-wise after three different rounds of polling.
After the conclusion of Round 1, The Dead Zone has earned a wildcard spot (fifth of six) in Round 2.
