4. Fast and fun read. The ending seemed a little unlike the rest of the story, but still enjoyable.
The first one hundred pages or so I loved; some of the most gripping stuff King ever wrote. After which he completely lost me...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I read this one within the past year, just before reading THE REGULATORS. I enjoyed DESPERATION so much more, by a very wide gap.
My enjoyment of the book was positively influenced by the Don Maitz remarque project that had been a subject of great interest here at TDT.org before I read the book. I loved the artwork as it was unveiled, although it was pretty much out of context for me. Finally reading the book, I had vivid pictures in my mind to accompany King's story.
Anyway, I'll give this story a...
5
Top tier King. Very creepy story; well-plotted with good characters. No weak points. Definite 5.
Gave it a 3, simply because I remember very little about it. I might think more of it after a reread.

Oh, and another bonus -- On top of everything else great about this novel, I love new languages.
TAK!
5. 5. 5. 5. 5.
Not only is it my favorite SK novel, it's in my top 5 favorite novels of all time. I make it a point to reread as much as I can (going on 12 times now) and each time is just as enjoyable as the last. There's just something about this book that took me by storm and it's always a treat to revisit it. I love it.

Don't worry, Jean. Considering how much praise I've been seeing for it, it's definitely a book I'll get round to reading eventually. Considering my reading speed and how many books I have to read, I'm sure I'll read it by the time I'm...50? Maybe 45 at the earliest? Eventually, I'll read it, anyway.
