I gave this one a 3. I may need to re-read it but from my recollection, I had to labor somewhat in parts. But it was, in other parts, very good. So, average.
I gave it an average as well. It's been a while since I've read it and I can remember enjoying it...but it's also not a King book that I've been dying to re-read.
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”-Mark Twain
Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts. Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me....Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.

I remember that I really liked it at the time, and I can still remember many parts of the book in vivid detail. But it was still only average for me; not a fave by far.
I gave this one a 3.
It was pretty good - but it's up against some heavy competition in this section.
Not read this one yet.
That's the wrong approach. Read Aaron's explanatory post "How to Vote" that's sticked. These are not being in direct competition yet.Originally Posted by ManOfWesternesse
I actually thought the movie was better

This is one of my faves actually. I had to give it a 5 as well. I BURNED through this book the first time I ever read it. I reread it not too long ago and burned through it again. The story is poignant, moving, and disturbing all at the same time for me. That's the mark of a well written story.
Margaret Emmie Mackey Catoe, you are, have been, and always will be my soulmate, and I love you.

I gave it a 4 , good beat, but hard to dance too
The answer is within
all matter is energy, all energy is GOD
Another solid 3 for me. I liked it, but I didn't love it.

I found it ok, pretty much like Cujo, but I'd never say it's a great novel. It was a bit illogical at times and we don't know much about any of the characters. I gave it a 3, exactly like Cujo and on the same grounds.
Havn't gotten round to reading this yet...
voted "4", it's not realy great, but one of my (many) personal favorites
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)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent story. SK's most accessible book.
gave it a four. i really liked it but it's not one of the ones that i go back to over and over and over again. :: shrugs ::
This looks to be one of the least liked ones so far.
