An excellent book about good versus evil as only Stephen King could tell it. The characters are well defined and beautifully written. There is something in there for everyone to relate to--even sometimes the bad guys.

This book is ready to make its trip around the globe to fellow bookcrossers. Just a few simple rules:
1. Please journal the book when you get it.
2. Try to read the book within 3-4 weeks so others can have a chance to read. (if this presents a problem because of work schedule, etc, let me know and I will inform others that the book is coming with a little delay. I can also change the order of the book if you don't think you can read it when it is your turn.)
3. After journaling the book, send a PM to the next person for their address so that you have it when you're done reading.

Thank you all for participating. I hope you enjoy reading this book. If you have any questions, problems or want to join the bookring, please PM me.

Order of Bookray (order may change based on shipping preferences):

1. RayneQueen (Texas, ship U.S.)
2. missprisy (Massachusettes, ship US)
3. emac52 (UK, ship Europe)
4. bartonz (Washington, ship anywhere)<---It's Here Where it will finish its journey for a while.

The book went out to Raynequeen today. I can't wait to see what others thought about this book.

Received today, thanks! I'll start reading soon.

I'm finally done! I liked it for the most part, it was rather interesting and thought-provoking. However, I thought it lacked suspense and was dissapointed that the tension between good and evil never really came to a head, it just sort of dissipated by accident.

Thanks for sharing. I will send this on to missprisy next week.

Arrived today. I have a few other rings and school work before I'll get to this, but I'll do my best to pass it on quickly.

*Started reading July 19.

This book is so long, but good! I feel bad about holding the Ray up, so I'm going to pass it along to bartonz without finishing it. Instead, I'll buy another copy and read it at my leisure. Thank you for sharing lane1088.

It''s here and I''m looking forward to reading this huge book!

on its way to emac52

This arrived in the post last night - I'm really looking forward to reading it again - especially as this is the 'uncut' version and I've only read the 'short' one!

13 Dec 07: I'd forgotten how much I enjoy reading Stephen King when he's good - I'm whizzing through this and I'm glad that so far it's not disappointing me and is every bit as good as I remember it being, in fact this version is perhaps even a little better ;0)

This is still one of my favourite King novels - although the end does disappoint a little. So much of the story is the journey to the respective camps/introducing an army of characters that when the final showdown finally arrives, it's almost there as an afterthought. That or the realisation that the book was so long that now would be a good time to end it and to end it quickly. Still all that aside, I still enjoyed reading it. Thanks lane1088 for sharing it with us all!

RELEASE NOTES:

posting out to another bookcrosser.
