Maybe I'm biased because this is my favorite SK book of all time and I've read it at least 3 or 4 times but I completely disagree.
I think of Blind Willie almost everyday when I drive to and from work and see people on the street corners begging for change.
The rest of the book with Bobby, Carol, SO (and then later seeing them as adults), Ted Brautigan with his amazing abilities, Rip-Rip, Pete, Ronnie and his cards... They are all unforgettable to me.
Plus it's one of his best endings IMO.
My favorite without a doubt of all his books. Gasp, dare I say it, I even like it better than DT.
People are always talking about truth.Everybody knows what the truth is,like it was toilet paper or somethin...All there is is bull*...One layer of bullshit on top of another...what you do in life...pick the layer of bull* that you prefer...
I think I'd like TDT a bit better if it was a bit closer to this book.
Love it.
Another A A A for me.
CCC
Sloth Love Chunk
BCA. Remember I liked the characters and the plot but not the story.
