I read this book in just under two days. It's hard to beat "shit weasels" and "The Memory Warehouse".

Stephen King wrote this book in the wake of a life-threatening road accident, while still on heavy medication. And it shows. It is confusing, unclear, difficult to follow, and some moment are just silly. Still, the character of Duddits is amazing, with the Stephen King trademark depth and a moving personal history.
Duddits or not, anyway, this is a heavily disappointing book.

Long, gory, weird, but it did hold the attention of both hubby and I 'til the end. Hubby picked it out, to listen to (audio book) during a long road trip. I suppose it deserves more stars, but it was just too disturbing for me to rank it any higher. Gets under your skin as only King can do.

As usual, the movie didn't come near doing this novel justice. The book was really quite good.
