  It's late and I'm tired but here I go.

  The story is a pretty breezy read overall. Good characters & I like it pretty well.

  This probably would have worked better as a short story rather than a full sized novel, but overall it was a good, quick read that held my interest.

  I've never been a huge King fan, since I like to multi-task when I read, and it's hard to snack while reading gory stories...but I did read Eye of the Dragon, and my boyfriend read this when it first came out, and loved it. As my library book intake is currently on hiatus, I finally picked this up. Definitely worth the read. You won't find many stories like this one around. It'll keep you on you toes right up til the end, and is 95% gruesome-free.

  At first it didn't impress me, and I kept reading it just because it was a King's novel (plus because I don't really like police stations), but after the first half it really grabbed my attention as what was emerging was a story about how absurd and meaningless is life; things (or shit) happen and you just have to deal with instead of understanding them. All in all, not one of the best books King has written, nevertheless still above the average.
