I almost did. Went with a four, and not because of the ending.Originally Posted by Jean
I thought about a 4, and, too, not because of the ending - rather because it isn't as totally, fantastically, incredibly awesome as The Stand or It.
Then I asked myself the poll question, namely: can I say I loved it? Yes, definitely! I loved it and... even if not as all that as those two big monsters, it is still totally, fantastically, incredibly awesome.

Hmmm, I'm torn between a 4 and 5. I'll have to come back to this one.

Another 5 here, was such a fun read!
Wish List:
Any of the following flatsigned or inscribed-
It, Shining, Salem’s Lot, Mr. Mercedes, The Stand
Brother ARC, Seed ARC
Probably closer to a 4, but went with a 5 because the tour and all the promotion that went around it was incredible.
I very much enjoyed it. Went with 4.
5 and 5 and 5! this was great.

I gave it a 3, mostly because the ending sucked balls. I like endings that mean something, not endings that feel perfunctory. I get the whole "it's about the journey blah blah blah" point of view, but I find that point of view skewed. The ending is what makes the journey matter, so the ending's damn important. If you screw up the ending you screw up the book.

There's logic in nonsense.

Buddy, you think you look strong? You’re wearing a cape.
Haven't finished it yet and have had the book over 2 years...
Does whatever a spiderman does.
Never read, but I am excited to read this book. I like survivor stories, and being stuck in a bubble sounds like a fun read.
Hannah has a point. I loved the book minus the ending. And I'm not sure if I would rank it in my top 10. So in keeping with my rating system I had to give it a 4.

Yea, the ending kept it from a 5.
A generous 2. One of my least favorite King reads ever. I only finished it out of some morbid sense of obligation.
don't talk to me

I started out liking it, but it seemed to build up to nothing. I wanted to enjoy it more.
Gah, two 2s and now some crazy person with a 1...
