It took me awhile to really get into it, mainly because I had to read the first half kind of piecemeal due to my schedule, and I thought it was somewhat confusing and ponderous. However, kept at it and the 2nd half really grabbed me and I was practically desperate to see how it would turn out! I've been mad at Stephen King since Cujo. Spoiler alert if you haven't read it--was it really necessary for the little boy to die in the end???

I'm sure Stephen King is really relieved to have me back in the fold!
