Read this a long time ago before anyone had ever heard of it (and long before the musical appeared), and with the announcement of a 4th and final book was reminded how much I loved this one, which then led to me remembering that I had not read any of the sequels.
I loved Maguire's twist on the Oz story so much back then that I read each successive book he produced. Now that the series has been finished, I think I'm going to just have to read 1-4 from start to finish when the new one comes out.
Read it for the first time in high school and couldn't get through it. Picked it up again in college and loved it.
Amazing book on writing. If you need inspiration or a kick in the pants, this one is highly recommended!
One of the most awesome scifi epics ever, with brilliant ideas about what the internet could be before the Matrix came along...
A lot better than the title and cover implies. A friend gave me this novel, knowing of my love for zombie tales. I was pleasantly surprised at how good the writing was. The suspense and horror was every bit as good as something like “28 Days Later.” Highly recommended for zombie-lovers.
Stopped reading about 1/3rd of the way through when I read several reliable tech resources say that Isaacson was not a reliable person to be writing this, based on his lack of technical knowledge and what to focus on while writing the book, and made errors throughout.
Tis a shame....
Loved this book all the way til the end, and then King ruined it with one of the worst cliffhangers ever.
