I must say that for King, this is quite a novel. From the moment I purchased this book, I could not put it down. Toward the middle, it seemed a little long winded and dull, but quickly grabbed my attention again and left me dumbfounded. Just when you think that the story is going one way, bamn, something happens and leaves you wondering what is next.This is a great title for anyone who has interest in spirituality or superstitions. For me having the attention spann of a three year old, this was a great story. Highly recommended.
