5! Creepy story and I loved it.
I liked this one more than Desperation, but only a little more. 4.

I loved this book. It is the only King book I have read more than twice.

I gave it a 3. It was good, but not spectacular, IMHO.

I've ended up voting both this and Desperation as a 4, even though I liked this one better.

This one I'm going to give a 4 as well. Didn't quite enjoy it as much as Desperation, but I still thought it was really good.

Too much fuss. Everybody runs and falls and jumps and crawls - bears fall asleep immediately. Moreover, I am not familiar with the entities used - and if the book was really good, it wouldn't have influenced anything, I would have believed and sympathized and bought the whole story and lived it whether or not I was familiar with the context.

Unfortunately, although I own it, I never finished this one. I don't remember why...

3. I've always preferred Desperation of these 2 books, but this was still reasonably good.

I gave a 4. I waaaay preferred this to Desperation. Infact, it's probably my favourite Bachman book.
I enjoyed the parallels between this story and Desperation, although I preferred the setting and characters of Regulators. I found it to be like a mini The Stand, in the way the neighbourhood becomes divided in the way each person handles the situation.
Good stuff and if I ever come to the States I'm buying a copy with this cover, yet again far superior to the UK edition :thumbsup:

Well, you don't need to actually come here in order to get it. You see they have this thing called the Internet, in fact you're on it right now! :cyclops: To the shops wit'ee!

I love these books. Desperation has the more fleshed story, but this has a really cool style and I thought the Seth/Tak character was F'n the most disturbing angle on Tak in either book. I loved him in both though.

Rated it a 5, Desperation a 4. Just liked it better, maybe cuz I'm a kid and I dig the kid stuff. Cowboys and such.

So, as I just said in the Desperation thread....
I gave this a 3. I remember reading when it first came out, and only just liking it. I've had no desire to reread it since then--until sometime last week when I saw a copy of this and Desperation at the library, wondered where my copies were, and thought, "Hmm, I should reread those two at some point."
My opinion might change on reread, but this is where it stands for now.
