Ratings and reviews

No offense but did I miss something? It took me three days to finish... Don't get me wrong, King is still King of horror to me.

This was so disappointing. Not scary, not even a fun read. Just blah....not even close to good work. What are you all thinking when you say it's good!!! Ending was the worst. I love Stephen king...but not this book.

I liked it. It pulled me in and kept me there, which is hard to do - seeing as I don't really like to read.
