Still need to get to this. Sounds like I might really like it a lot.

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)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I gave it a 5, one of my top 10 King books for sure.
The kindness of close friends is like a warm blanket
I gave it a 4. I really enjoyed it, and it is one of the quickest reads I've ever had. Good stuff...just not great.
I actually thought this story was weak, especially compared to it's companion book Dolores Claiborne. I gave it a 3.
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.

4. I really enjoyed this one.
Pablo I definitely recommend checking it out.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
I'll get to it, Heather. Everything's eventual. So much to read...
I hear you. Luckily my King pile is dwindling but there's still a few on that list.

I read this one in about three hours, pablo. It's a very quick read.
I gave it a 3.
I didn't dislike it per se, but I didn't really care for it all that much either. It was ok.

I read sloooow.
I can totally relate to this statement , I feel the same way. But it seems
I may have to reread it as it is so well liked by the rest
of you.
The answer is within
all matter is energy, all energy is GOD
i'll probably be the only person to give this book a 1.
hated, hated, hated. with a passion that cannot be equalled. well, okay maybe it can be equalled by the library policeman but it's a tough call.
3. Not a bad read, but nothing great either.
A 2, I just couldn't get into it and skimmed it quite a bit.
2. Reading it was like being cuffed to a bed.
I loved this one. Another 5 for me. I thought it was a terrifying story that really made my skin crawl. I liked Jessie a lot and found my heart pounding quite often. It's one of the few books that have literally given me goosebumps.

Same with me. I was scared of dark corners after reading this book.
A true firewasp ninja would never wear such a ridiculous sweater.
There's logic in nonsense.
Give me all the bacon and eggs you have.
*shudder* It was a good quick read but....*shudder*Same with me. I was scared of dark corners after reading this book.
When..
Spoiler:That's just one part that made me squirm while reading it.
And especially...
Spoiler:
THAT is what gave me chills.

I think I need to reread this one and see if it'll be as scary the second time around.
