    Lilja seems to be a very nice guy so this is nothing personal but to be honest, I can't get myself to read his 'reviews' even if I try.

    I am note sure what all these different "versions" are. I did just receive a notice from Amazon that the book will not be available until sometime between "June 08 and July 26, 2011" Such a large window for its availability date.

    OK I just checked Amazon again and they are saying that one (978-1451650600, 400 pages) is in stock. ISBN 978-1451648386, 384 pages will be available in 1 to 2 months, same cover photo. And ISBN 978-1439192603, 480 pages, available in September. All 3 have different prices as well.

    I've ordered the 978-1451650600 on bookdepository and cancelled my pre-order of 978-1451648386.
    The second one wasn't available any more.

    Now let's see what I receive.

    Simon & Schuster lists it as having 400 pages with an ISBN of 9781451650600 and that is available today. Not sure what the other two that Amazon has listed are.

    King makes a tiny Dark Tower reference in this story. I thought it was a very good, short jab of a story. It's quite obvious where it's going but the non-twist is not the point, I think.

    Well, I finally got around to reading this today and I liked it. I won't spoil anything but I thought it fit in with the other stories in the book.

    Spoiler:
    There's a mention of Nozz-a-la Cola.

    Thanks!
    Spoiler:
    When I read what you wrote, I wondered how I could have missed that, but then I checked the story and found that only the term "Nozzy" is used, which explains it.

    I don't think Spoiler tags need to be used for "Nozzy", Nozz-a-la Cola etc. Actually we may need a reference tag.

    It is funny... i work in advertising and i did recognise it in the story. Also i didnt know the saying "feeling under the weather", therefore i thought that i would be related to Mother Nature becoming crazy and something like this...
