    My absolute favorite non-DT book by Stephen King!

    And likely to remain that way!

    This was an easy 5 for me. Easily King's best in my opinion, and my favorite book by him (or anyone else for that matter).
    Only the gentle are ever really strong.

    Oddly enough, I was so absorbed into the book that it seemed perfectly normal. I don't know why, but it didn't bother me until long after I had finished the book. A masterful novel and well written. A total 5.

    easily a 5. Read it 3 times. 1st time in 2 days without sleep.
    I will probably read this one again. For me this had the most memorable characters.

    Okay, I feel I must share... When this first came out, I was in a bookstore with a friend and I picked up the book to check out the cover and the backcover, you know - read over the synopsis, etc.

    Well, my friend took one look at the author and the title and said with a terrified voice "OH MY GOD, THERE'S A PRONOUN IN THE BASEMENT!!!"
    The Man In Black Fled Across The Desert...

    ...And The Gunslinger Followed.

    I gave it a 3. I wasn't overly impressed, but it was okay.

    Absolutely a 5.

    My favorite King other than DT.

    I'm amazed at how attached I got to the characters in one novel. Granted, a very loooooong novel, but still. Brilliant.

    This and The Shining are genuinely scary books. I loved this one and even forgave the poor ending with the spider. 5+++++++++++++

    If IT is not a 5, I'm not sure what is. One of King's best works.

    It had a lot of exciting things and neat concepts, but I was a bit disappointed with it.
    Have you heard of people with short fuses? Well, I have no fuse at all, and there's a thousand could testify to it if I hadn't stilled their tongues for good.

    Up there with Insomnia, Black House, Rose Madder, Dead Zone, and The Stand in my favorite non-DT book category. Easy 5.
