Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)

One of my all-time favorites.

Also a 2 for me. One of the few books it just took me forever to get through b/c I just wasn't into it. A "page-turner" this was not. I actually liked most of the story set in the real world, but all that stuff with the Long-Boy and Bool ya Moon or whatever did nothing for me at all.
it gets a lot better with subsequent reads IMHO
"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
I had to give it a 1. I’ve never struggled so hard to get through a book in my life. I’m a pretty fast reader but it took me weeks to get through the first 50 pages or so.
I kept pushing on hoping it would get better but it never did.
Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?

Lisey's Story writing style:
she held out her hand, which consisted of a palm, four fingers and a thumb, each with a nail, and took a cup, a blue vessel with a small circular handle through which she put the index finger of her right hand, which consisted of a palm, four fingers and a thumb, each with a nail, and put the blue vessel with a small circular handle through which she had put the index finger of her right hand, to her lips, between which there were thirty-two teeth, canines, incisors, premolars, molars and wisdom teeth, and took a sip of the tea from the blue vessel with a small circular handle which she was holding in her hand, consisting of a palm, four fingers and a thumb....
etc ad infinitum

found this to be a very good book and so refreshing after DT7 which I found to be a ...cop out.
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
So is this the book with the most number 1's so far?
