5.0

Unlike most of my King first reads, I went into this knowing basically nothing about the story and I'm SO glad I did. 
This is one of those books I would give my right hand to read for the first time again, except that: I expect re - reads will add to it rather than detract. 
If you only ever read one Stephen King book, make it this one
