Love, love LOVE this story!! A definate 5!! And my first 5 so far.
Once again we agree, Darkthoughts. As a slow reader, I blazed through this novel in under a week. Nearly record-time.
I've never read this one. I keep an eye out for it at the BMV but never see it.
This is a 4 for me.
Rainbird would be worth a 5, but the novel overall doesn't quite make it.
It was good.
This one garners a 5 from me as well. It is one of King's best works to date. Not going to win the whole thing, but still one of his best. I just wish I had the limited edition.
I concur with Brian on this one.Quote:

I *just* finished a reread of this the other day, and I have to say it's a solid 3 IMHO. Not spectacular, but not bad, either.
I started this book, lost it halfway through, found it again, and liked it. I can't say i love it, quite a bit of it seemed dull, but it's a lovely read (>^^)>
only so-so. I found it spectacularly boring.
I enjoyed this from start to finish.
The characters really made themselves at home in my mind.
A 4 for certain.
Well I guess I'm going to have to read this one sometime soon. I probably picked up a copy of this book over 10 years ago, I think it was one of the first few King books I bought, but for some reason never read it. I started it once when I got it but only got a few pages in, and it's been sitting on my bookshelf ever since.
another book that i haven't reread in probably 10 years yet i still remember like i read it yesterday. a five for sure!
Haven't read it yet, don't own it, haven't even seen the movie. Someday...
