This book felt like it took years to read. The story was good. A store opens and fulfills everyone's biggest wants for a steep price. The owner doesn't ask for money, he wants favors. The biggest problem was there are way too many characters. The entire city was involved and with King's descriptive storytelling and eye for detail it really got bogged down with minutia that wasn't necessary for the story.
