:lol: 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. :clap:

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...

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

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!

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.
