A poignant and haunting early King novel. Some of King's greatest ideas are here first rehearsed (the foundational bricks of IT, Gerald's Game and Pet Sematary, for one). This is a carefully plotted book that just works.

One of my favourite reads of King so far - side from a few moments of Kingisms where I groaned. Donna is a badass, and I loved reading about her. Don't expect to read this one anytime soon as it WAS sad!

Probably the best King I've read and one of the best I've read all year. Great combo of horror and drama with occasional slivers of bleak humor.
