I want to read that... all my goodread friends are so... I've read interesting reviews about it.
ha...I had that on my list for my next read, but don't know if I can handle another disappointing ending!
Much like the majority or Mr. King's work since the late 80's, this book suffers from his two biggest faults. Lack of a good editor, and a terrible ending. The biggest positive for me was finding out that "Play it All Night Long" is a Warren Zevon song. I'd only heard a cover version. Positives can be found almost anywhere, I guess.
Boy do I agree with this statement. King needs an editor that is not a friend or relative.
I was pretty critical but, I would certainly not discourage anyone from reading it. The story is really compelling and I had trouble putting it down. My only problem was that I felt SK had no idea how he was going to end it and this ending just felt stuck onto the book. This is my first SK book and I was an English teacher so I am pretty critical of how things are edited and at least this book could have used an editor who was not related to SK. But, by all means read the book it is a excellent story and really pulls you in.
