    I do not own this book, I borrowed it a long time ago.
    I remeber I very much enjoyed it. So A~ B ~A it is, as I can recall.

    This gets an A-B-A score from me. Lots of good stories, but not everyone was a hit.

    ABB, Stories were entertaining, but few of them stayed with me very long. When the movie for 1408 came out, I had to reread, because I didnt remember.

    Yes. I count All That You Love (no big surprise here), That Feeling and Lunch among the great ones, and found 1408, Bullet and Lucky Quarter quite good, but I am afraid I already forgot most of the rest.

    I'm so in love with SK's short stories and this collection is my favorite so far (haven't read my copy of Just After Sunset as I'm on a Harry Potter bender right now) From first to last I found the stories in this set to be just delectable.

    Absolutely straight A's for me. I recently reread this and fell in love with it all over again.

    I love well-written short stories. Straight A's.

    I just realized, when I voted for this, I was thinking of Hearts In Atlantis! Any way my vote could be undone?
    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.

    What should your vote be, B-Rag? And how did you vote in each category, so that I know where to deduct the votes from?

    I think I voted B, B, B. I'd rather it be A, C, B.
    Thanks!

    ABA for me.

    Still loved it, though.
    This makes me want to reread it.
