Bleh, one of the worst books by King by a very wide margin. Newcomers to King should avoid this book like the superflu. Try instead Firestarter, The Deadzone. Both are short but powerful.
Another cool, interesting review, Christopher. I jumped over to Wikipedia's synopses of this story..& after skimming some of that combined w/ your thoughts, I'm led to think that King wrote this book as kind of his own, personal worst nightmare - that concept might work well in King's mind, but ...ehh. Not understanding Lisey's trauma or hearing from Scott directly would bug me & other things. Laughed at 1:10 ! :) ....I'm reading "Swan Song"...& it's got me, thanks to you! -Jim
@CombatOasis Swan Song is pretty epic. You're gonna love it.
