“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”-Mark Twain
Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts. Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me....Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.

Straight As. One of my favorite books of King's. Perhaps Top 3.
Straight A's from me as well. I loved this book the first time and more after two re-reads.
All A's here too, no big surprize, its a great book, a terrific story..loved it!
The answer is within
all matter is energy, all energy is GOD
Straight A's for me. Perfectly executed and a representation of King at his very best in all three categories in my opinion.
I'll probably re read this after Black House if I can squeeze it in with the school work.
Straight A's. One of his finest writings.
Margaret Emmie Mackey Catoe, you are, have been, and always will be my soulmate, and I love you.
Con todo mi corazon, por todo de mis dias. And I always will, in this life and into the next.

When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was one that I had to read twice to appreciate more fully. A wonderful story that just broke my heart and uplifted it all at once. It's a delicious book where King masterfully does that thing he does so well of writing such a realistic situation that slaps you silly with the fantastic until you're a true believer.
I'm the only "never read" I wanted to see what others put. I'm excited to read this next after JAS. It's nice to see mostlys As were chosen.
A, A, and A. Atropos is one of my favorite King characters. And the plot is very different, original.
Atropos is a bad mother. Definitely a great King antagonist.Originally Posted by Melike
Great seeing this book doing so well.
Straight B's. Okay, but not impressed.

"You needn't die happy when your day comes, but you must die satisfied, for you have lived your life from beginning to end and ka is always served." ~ Roland Deschain

I've only read this book once, but it was recently. Great story, great characters - the good and the bad.
I liked the ending, however it felt dragged out. Therefore the "B" rating for the ending is because my gut reaction while reading was "Ok, let's wrap this thing up already."
Another bout of straight A's from me
Straight As here, too - one of my fave SKs!
This collecting stuff is a sickness! ~Patrick
AAA.
Another of my all-time favorite King books.
Who said this was one of King's worst?
