I know I love Stephen King, but I had not before this realized how many A+ books
he has written for us. I give this book all A's too.
The answer is within
all matter is energy, all energy is GOD
B,B,C. No pun intended.
I surprised myself by giving this one all A's. I hadnt planned on it, but I found that I could not fault King in any area on this one. The idea was perfect, the plot moved at an appropriate pace. Anne Wilkes is one of the most colorful characters ever written, and the ending was excellent. Thus AAA. I also remember reading this one all in one sitting, which says alot for the book as far as shear entertainment value.
King created the most powerfully written character in Annie Wilkes that I have ever read. And that includes Flagg. All A's.

I gave it straight A's (actually, I might have given the ending a B, I don't remember for sure), but I really did have a problem with one thing in this book: The story within a story. I didn't know how to make my grading account for that, though...
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.

This is something I try to forget... I always skip it on rereading.

“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.
-Shel Silverstein
I also did not care for the story within a story. The only part of that which was cool was the hand-filled "n's"

Triple A's. I remember reading this in one sitting; I was up for HOURS trying to find out what would happen next. A total page-turner!
"People, especially children, aren't measured by their IQ. What's important about them is whether they're good or bad, and these children are bad." ~ Alan Bernard
"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
Again AAA.
I didn't like this book. I set it on the book shelf next to "Thinner " (another I don't care for) to seperate King from Koontz.
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
LOVED the movie, own the book, however: "Never Read"
