Can't say that I totally hated INSOMNIA, but also can't say that I recommend it to other people. It was very interesting with lots of likable characters and such...but it just wouldn't get to it! Sure the ending is crazy like all Stephen King endings, but it took forever to get there. The storyline is a good, well-thought out one with interesting turns to it. King creates a wonderful cast of real and likable characters caught in a mess of insomnia, violence, and abortion. This is a good book, it just took me a long time to read. Sometimes you have to patient with it, in the end something DOES happen. What I liked best about the ending was that it did not just end abruptly. There was an ending, and then the epilouge was a whole other ending altogether and it really made the book worth it. Very nice.
