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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow what a book, looking forward to a re-read... 5
It gets a 5. This is King's best this decade, hands down. Not The Dark Tower, not Under the Dome, not Lisey's Story, Duma Key.
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.

This is another book I'd give a 6 if I could. I absolutely loved it!

Straight fives so far. One from me as well. Excellent novel, read it in less than a week.

A 3 from me. I liked some of this book (when the painting frenzy first started), but the rest seemed too long, too overwritten, and too repetitive. How many times does the accident have to be described? I got it the first time, thank you. However, I had no trouble reading this book, despite my criticisms it did flow right along.
I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.
And the people bowed and prayed, to the cell phone god they made...
Have not read it, yet.

I agree with you. That's why I gave it a 4.
4 from me as well.

It's very encouraging to see such high marks for this novel. I found a like-new copy of the hard back for $8 in December but haven't put it in the queue to read yet. It might be the next King I read, and from the looks of it I'll love it. I've done everything I can to avoid even knowing what it's about. Body pain and lawn jockeys in Florida or some such is all I know aside from the general consensus that it's awesome. I should have read it in time to vote but these polls came quicker than expected.

Oh, no! Someone should have tagged that! Big, fat spoiler!
Sorry, dude.
All of this, + one of the most anti-climatic endings I've ever read.
2.
Another very close to 5 but not quite. Thus, 4.
Well, I think it'll be ok. As long as it's a horror novel from King I suspect pretty much any mundane item is a bit off... Not sure where I read about that part but it must not have been tagged since I never open them on books I plan to read, or at least I thought I never did.
Cool, cool. I was just kind of joking, Kronz. You'd better watch out on this thread, though. Srsly, I'd stop reading *right now* !
Well, yeah, there's that.All of this, + one of the most anti-climatic endings I've ever read.
2.Mebbe I should've gone 3, after all.
Way too long.
I'm not a big fan of steve's books that deal with art or paintings: road virus, rose madder, ect.
He seems to keep going to that well but it never turns out that cool.
Didn't read the comments. Can't afford, so never read it is.
It'll take a lot more than words and guns,
A whole lot more than riches and muscle.
The hands of the many must join as one.
And together we'll cross the river.
