I voted 6 (in my Mind) I *love* this story
"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King

Still haven't read this.
My favorite of all King's works. The last page evoked more raw emotion-- WTFFFF, and anger-- from me than any other book has come close to doing. Plus I'm a believer in simplicity in terms of style, and Bachman is bare-bones King.
GSD: I urge you to make it your next King read! I call it Lord of the Flies on crack; my lady friend (who is reading it right now) called it the Hunger Games without girls. It's epic
Yeah, I know it's a highly praised King book. I've already got a copy of it, and I'm waiting for that perfect moment to start it (you know, when the urge is strong to read a specific book) so I can enjoy it to it's full potential.
5
it's perfect
Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)

5!!!! I really wish I could give it more. One of my all-time favorite stories.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.

The first 5 I’ve been able to give out.
Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?
5. None better.
5 EASY

It warms my heart to see the love this book receives. I thought it was just me.
