Gripping story. I just couldn't put this book down each time I had it in my hands.
edit: just had a nightmare about this book and i cried so rating raised to 3.5 for scare factor
not his best work i've read but a 3 star stephen king book is still better than 5 star books from other authors lol
I think I was in hospital when I read this the first time so possibly 1990? Round about then anyway I'd guess. I always like a Stephen King novel for long drives and this one hit the spot - not too thinky but engaging enough that the miles pass by and keeps the tiredness at bay. Trouble is, my drive was only 14 hours. That left another 10!
