I read Rose Madder back when it was published, and did not really get a feel for it at all. Unlike almost all my King books - I never bothered with a re-read, for many years.
Then last year I re-read it .... and thought it was extremely good! Don't know what my first-time-round perspective was - but it was faulty. Would now count this as one of Kings good ones (which is almost all of them!)


ok - that's 5 men all voting a big 'yes', and not a woman in sight.
'Rose Madder's rep is taking a BIG hit here!
