Pretty good. Not quite on the Different Seasons level, but probably my 2ND favorite of his novella collections.
I found this one very entertaining, but I can hardly remember The Library Policeman or The Sun Dog. May be time for a re-read.
BBB, Don't really remember Sun Dog or Library Policeman.

"Sun Dog" terrific.
So is Library Policeman, except the last quarter or so

Ehn, well, s'okay... I just still kinda view it as mere rough draft for the good part of Gerald's Game...Originally Posted by Jean

I want to vote this A+ across the board. My favourite ever novella book. Langoliers blows every one of the others out of the water. (cant believe its not been mentioned in the discussion) Loved the Library policeman, Sun Dog and Secret Window while not as strong as the others was still head and shoulders over Novellas
I cant begin to tell you all how much I love this book (although I think i just did)
I am rereading Sun Dog right now. It is fantastic - epitome of excellent writing. Feels even more precious after 11/22/63, say sorry
