Was doing a little rereading last night and Susannah being a quadriplegic still drags her character (and the story) down for me. With her split personality (which I found compelling) it's just too much...too tedious and it causes me to focus too much on the drudgery of hauling her around. I just don't see how it adds to the story in any way. It would have been better if King had put more energy into developing events around Susannah's Detta/Odetta situation. The handicap dynamic worked in Cycle of the Werewolf; not so much here where there's so much travel involved. Seems like "Gan" would have picked someone that could walk.

So there.
