A great story or should I say stories by king, five tales all inter-connected with the theme of the war in Vietnam running alongside. The first novella about the low men in yellow coats is particularly excellent and loved the references to the dark tower series which is one of my favourites!

I'm rating this only 3 stars bc even though I know I've read it, I can't remember it. So how can it be that great?

An excellent interwoven “short” fiction collection from King—the two novellas and the final story are phenomenal, while the 3rd and 4th stories are powerful and tragic. I couldn’t put it down!

Was prompted to read this because I finished the first two books in the Mercedes trilogy. This after I swore off King forever. But it was an old one and had much to recommend it. I could live without Low Men but I loved Ted Brautigan.

This book has it all. I remember being blown away when I read it for the first time because it was unlike any other King novel I had read. One of his best.
