    Not a favorite, but still a good book. The fact that SK could create an entire story while the protagonist is handcuffed to a bed is pretty impressive.

    This was a terrible book. I didn't care for the story and this was one of the rare occasions I didn't care about a King protagonist. She could still be cuffed to the bed and I wouldn't care.

    0. Probably one of only 3 (possibly only 2) zeros I'll give out.

    I popped this baby's zero cherry. It took me three tries to read this book and I finally had to go the audio book route.

    That dog should've ate her.

    I'm not sure I could give any SK book a zero. So I gave this a 1.
    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?

    wow - not much love for this. I really liked it.
    "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

    You and me both. I really enjoyed this one. And I know I've said this before, but this book contains the scariest scene ever written for me. Actually I still shudder whenever I think about it.


    Sad to see a few zeros. I could never rate a book that low, but I have given out a few 1's already to those I hated.

    Hard work and the only King book I've never reread. A disappointing 2.
