A relentless waking nightmare in which the master of horror and suspense guarantees you sure won't rest in peace.
You'll lose a lot of sleep.
Ralph does. At first he starts waking up earlier. And earlier. Then the hallucinations start - the colours, shapes and strange auras. Not to mention the bald doctors who always turn up at the scene of a death.
That's when Ralph begins to lose a lot more than sleep. When he begins to understand why his hitherto mild-mannered friend, Ed, is getting out of control - dangerously so. And why his hometown is about to become the new Armageddon.
An evil of unimaginable proportions has found a way in and Ralph has only one chance to beat it. The stakes are high - they always are when you're playing for human souls. With a Joker in the pack... a bald one with a rusty scalpel.

my library wouldn't let me renew it so I had to return it :(
Will be requesting another copy ASAP!
It took me a bit longer than usual, but I got through it! I'm glad I stuck with it too, it ended up being quite the wild ride. Mr. King really sticks the landing on this one, and it had a lot of fun references to “It” and “The Dark Tower” for the fans.
All in all, a very good read and I definitely recommend it to Steven King fans.
Am rezonat cu personajul principal, deoarece trec prin aceeași situație în viață. Singura chestie ce nu mi-a plăcut a fost că mi s-a părut cam lungă și după standardele lui Stephen King. Foarte multe referințe legate de seria Dark Tower și IT. Cartea este o lectură aproape obligatorie pentru cei care citesc seria Dark Tower și pentru cine au citit-o va fi foarte interesantă. I liked the book, however it is very slow even for a Stephen King book. However, it has a lot of references to the Dark Tower series.
One of my least favorite King novels so far. Unfortunately, I had to force myself to finish.
If I wasn't reading his books in chronological order, I probably would've DNF'd it 400 pages in.
