Pick another New York Times Best Selling horror author to read. sk uses the "n" word a plethora of times in 98% of his books. What, you just ignore this fact everytime he writes it and you read it? You're not offended? Well, like me, you should be outraged. You should burn everyone of his books that reference this word. His books should be for "RACIST RATED AUDIENCES ONLY', since it's illegal to out-and-out ban them. I'm under the impression he can't write a book w/o refering to Black People as liars, cheaters, thieves, ignorant, disgusting, etc., because that is the definition of this word. Everytime one of you buys one of his books, you're supporting a racist and helping him spread his racist ideologies. Do you then give it to your children and other minors to read? No, no, wait... Don't start making excuses for putting an elaborate lifestyle at the feet of an admitted racist pig akin to david duke. There are no excuses! And, don't find fault with my finding fault with this swine. he's probably a card carrying member of the kkk, the nazi party, the arian nation, john birch society, etc. If there's a hell below, you're all gonna go... STOP BUYING sk's LIERATURE if you're not racist, too. Put your money where your mouth is and STOP BEING A HYPOCRITE. If you are a racist, you're not gonna change, so I'm not wasting my breath on you 'cause I'm gonna need it to die with... It's the rest of you that need to wake-up. Indeed, I hope you do! Never, never buy works by people like this, NEVER!

95% intro / excessive character development / pointless side stories that never go anywhere... 5% anticlimactic conclusion with no answers or closure. Very disatisfying, very difficult to get through, and very disappointing in the end. By the time you get to the end you struggle to remember earlier events that the protagonist references. Really could have cut this book down to a fourth of its current length and given a bit more of a satisfying end.

At the beginning of this school year I read my first Stephen King book, Christein, I found it wonderful, a goofy and scary romp for the ages, I continued to read more books from King, Salem's Lot, The Dark Half, Desperation, and my favorite story, the Regulators, written under Richard Bachman. But recently, I've read this book, and in my personal opinion, it is his worst story. For a long time your wondering, when is something going to happen, and when something does happen, it's over and your left wondering what the hell you just read. A boring mess that led to the biggest, "well, that happened" in the world. Don't read this, read one of the Desperation Duo, or Salem's Lot, they are much more enjoyable than this.
