I saw the movie and found it interesting, but since I haven't actually read the book I voted "Never Read."
Saw the film version a long time ago, too. Still need to read it some of these days
This is one of my favorites actually. I give it a 5.
Margaret Emmie Mackey Catoe, you are, have been, and always will be my soulmate, and I love you.
Con todo mi corazon, por todo de mis dias. And I always will, in this life and into the next.

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 That's one of my favorites, too.
Another '4' here.
Three. Okay, but not fantastic.

nobody tell ves'ka gan but i only gave this one a 3. shhhhhhhh. it's a secret.
I'm pretty sure Ves can read the fine print. After all, she has experience with our government's paperwork. So the turtle may want to be on the lookout.

3 from me as well, for SK this book to me was "average" if there is such a thing.
The answer is within
all matter is energy, all energy is GOD
I read it as a kid and my most vivid memory is the birds on the road.. the the noise the bones gave when the car when on them. I don't remember much more.
Roland would have understood.
I gave a 4, I loved the concept
Meh. I gave it a 3.
It's certainly not bad, but I think I enjoyed it mostly because King wrote it and I like his writing style more than I enjoyed the actual story if that makes any sense at all.
For some reason I had a really hard time voting for this one. I kept going back and forth between 3 & 4. I finally decided to go with a 3. I enjoyed it, but it's not one of my favorites.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
One of the biggest problems that I have with this book is how eerily similar it is to Dean Koontz's Mr. Murder.
I actually gave it a 5, because I thought it was a poignant discussion of King's own issues with writing under the name of Bachman, and the fears that could ensue from that. Plus, sparrows are just creepy anyway with or without the book.
I gave it a 5 out of sheer well written, deep horror. This is one of King's scariest novels.
