    This is one of my top King books. Don't know how anyone couldn't love it.

    I think one of the reasons I may love it so much is because of King reading the audio book. It was so personal and real!!

    I'll have to pick that one up sometime. I read the book ages ago and want to reread it, but I just don't have the time right now. I should just grab the audiobook and listen to that.

    With so many of you guys whose opinions I respect speaking so highly of Bag of Bones, methinks I should give it another go at some point. Maybe when I finish the Sgt. Pepper book.

    with the exception of lisey's story, bag of bones is SK's most relationship driven book and it is dead on and the characters are so real. emmy was the same age as ki when i first read it and the resemblance was uncanny.

    I have to say that BOB dragged for me. Not quite boring to the point of tears, but my eyes were welling up.

    I read Cell by the pool in Maui. It was the perfect read for being on the Island in February. Not a great book, but no worry if it got wet at the wade up and sit down bar.
    Not to mention that on vacation I HATED cell phones and left mine in the room.

    I really, really was disappointed by that book.

    the only reason I liked it so much was because of its connection to the dark tower, that's it, take that out and replace it with something equally as weird and I would have stopped reading mid-book

    I read the hard-copy before listening to the audiobook and the audiobook really added to the intensity. It already was (and is) one of my favorite non-DT books. Just reading this thread makes me want to listen to it again.

    Who reads it? I have to say, there hasn't been a reader I haven't enjoyed yet out of all my books. I liked Bag enough where I would get the audio.
