IT was the second King book I ever read (my first being Cycle of the Werewolf). I think I was like...8 or 9. I remember getting in trouble because I read part of it to a kid on my block and they had nightmares or something. ha.

But like everyone else has said, I have never understood the point of having the kids have sex. When I first read it I didn't really know what I was reading but when I got older I was like, WTF? It is unnecessary.

But, since it was one of my first King novels it holds a special place in my heart.
