    This is a tough one, I thought the book started very well and had an interesting concept. All in all, it had a beat and I could dance to it. I gave it a 3.

    A good strong 4... although now I wish I had given a 5; I might edit my choice later.

    Why just 4? If you don't mind me asking.

    Simple enough I guess.
    Rightly or wrongly my approach to this whole thing is that King Books deserving a '5' from me are in a high category all their own (eg. The Stand, It, Insomnia, a lot of the DT Books, etc...).
    And certain others, including this one, though very good in their own right don't make it into my '5' category.

    I know some peoples response to that has been to mark each book on it's own merits - but at the end of the day all things are relative. (and rating all Books, for me, means rating them relative to other Books).
