Man, I used to read every book that Stephen King wrote, but as my tastes "matured," I put King's books away and moved onto book club and intellectual-type books. Now that I'm venturing back into the world of entertainment fiction, I think I need to go back and read King's books that I missed while I was gone.
This book was very highly recommended by an acquaintance, and so I happily towed the huge monstrosity with me on a cruise to Mexico despite the weight. I'm very glad I did. It was a perfect book to read poolside (except for the size, of course). When I wasn't reading, I was thinking about the storyline...
Now that I have finished the book, I still think it was a worthwhile read, but I am a little bummed at the ending of the book. I can't decide if I'm bummed because I didn't want it to end that way or if I'm bummed because of something that King did wrong. I know that I'm personally bummed with how it ended, plot-wise, but there might also have been a little rush towards the end as King no doubt tried to keep the book under a thousand pages.
I would recommend this book if you like long drawn-out plots with lots of character development and don't mind some science-fiction points (it is Stephen King, after all...)
