Have you ever wanted to grab an author by the shoulders, shake them ever so slightly and tell them, "Fuck you, you're brilliant." That's what was running through my head on a loop as I delved deeper and deeper into the web that Rice has weaved.
I love seeing how every writer conveys their own voice, but with Rice's, this was something different. I felt that this was a voice that I was comfortably familiar with, even though I'd never once read him before. His use of metaphors and vivid imagery are things I'm going to be thinking of for years to come.
Watching the snow fall will never feel the same way again - there will always be a lingering thought in the back of my mind wondering if Stephen made it all possible.
Barring the ending that I slowly started to see coming, but didn't want to, this was a pretty, spectacular, heartwrenching read.
