Awful, possibly his worst (to me).
It was just before dawn
- one miserable morning in black 'forty four...
I wanted to be nice and give it a 2 but yeah, my least favorite as well.
While not a fav, I don't think this is in the bottom 10 for me. Was going to give it a 3.5 then decided I didn't like it "that" much, so I downgraded to a 3.

A 3 from me. It pales in comparison to Desperation, but it's a fun "popcorn flick" of a novel. Been meaning to reread it again, actually.
Think I'm one of the very few who really liked it: 4.5.
So much better than Desperation....

Which one did you read first?
It's something I've noticed about myself. I read Desperation first so I like it much better than this book. I think it's because it used the exact same characters and after reading Desperation, it was weird to me seeing them portrayed differently.
I do the same thing with cover songs. If I hear a cover before I hear the original, I usually like the cover better. If I hear the original first, I usually like that better.
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?
0. Likely will be one of only 2 novels that get this vote. I loathed this book. Like power rangers on acid.

Oh my, our first zero.
Dang it, I want to be the first to give out a '0'. Definetly got one in mind. Came close on Doloris Claiborne.

And I really wanted to give Wizard and Glass a zero, but thought that'd be too mean. Maybe I should have
Out of curiosity why did you include a zero in the voting instead of a 1.5?
This goes back to the discussion we had prior to the 2014 version, where it was decided to go with these particular ratings and I remember it was adamantly demanded that a zero option be added, since prior to that 1 was the lowest rating (it was just 1 though 5, whole numbers, and it was decided we needed more shades). I do not recall any reasons why a 1.5 was not added, to be honest.
I don't think King has any zeros for me, although I can definitely think of some zeros by other authors.
