I had never read anything by Stephen King, and figured I should plug that hole in my literary experience. Having now read this, I can safely say that I have no desire to read anything else he's written. This just... wasn't good? At all? And yet this guy is one of the most lauded, most popular authors of our time? I do not get it. I do not get it at all.
