4. It was this close to a 5.
“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.

Another book I really enjoyed. It holds up pretty well on re-reads too.
This one was tough to get into but got good as you went along. Not King's best, but still a good read. 4.
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.

I gave it a 5. It was a good read.
A true firewasp ninja would never wear such a ridiculous sweater.
There's logic in nonsense.
Give me all the bacon and eggs you have.
OK, I am giving this story a 5 too. It was creepy and scary
and I've liked it on rereads again and again.
The answer is within
all matter is energy, all energy is GOD
Still one of those I need to get to.
I was so-so on it when I first read it years ago, but I recently reread it, and it's a definite 5 for me.

"You needn't die happy when your day comes, but you must die satisfied, for you have lived your life from beginning to end and ka is always served." ~ Roland Deschain
I'm going to give this one a 4. I really enjoyed it, but not one of my all-time favs.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.

bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish I could give it more than a 5.
I've reread it many times, and each time....I love it just as much.
i wouldve given it a five when i was reading it, bc i loved the book. but my moronic self watched the movie when i was about 4/5 done with it. i never finished it so i have to give it a 4
I have many leather bound books.
I'm kind of a big deal.
Changing the plans that I’ve been setting on, I’m scared by the way that my life is getting gone
a 4. This was a strong book.
Just a 2 from me.
As with Pet Sematary and others that I have/will mark low, it's not so much a case of the story being poor - more because the subject matter was such that I was unable to enjoy it or relate to it.
A 5 times infinity.
This is probably my most favorite book of all time. That's right, of all time.
I give it a 4. I picked the book up in 9th grade from the high school library and found it great. The descriptions of Collie's face getting worse and worse really turned my stomach the first time I read the book. Also, the made-up language he had Tak and the hosts saying really rolled off the tongue quite nicely, which is more than I can say for some other fantasy books I've read.
I'm getting my own copy for Christmas, so a reread will soon be in order.
I just bought a new copy of this book--The Dark Half will always be my favorite King--but this one battles it strongly. I loved the characters and the story was truly terrifying...it goes from "Wow, this is scary because it could really happen" to "OMFG I AM SCARED TO DEATH BY DEMONIC POSESSION!" really quickly.
YOU MUST CHILL. I HAVE HIDDEN YOUR KEYS.
I gave this a 3. I remember reading when it first came out, and only liking it. I've had no desire to reread it since then--until sometime last week when I saw a copy of this and The Regulators at the library, wondered where my copies were, and thought, "Hmm, I should reread those two at some point."
giving only a slightly better 2, compared to regulators. I didnt hate it as much as I hated the regulators
