I'm always strangely surprised when I like a Stephen King book. :) Not sure why. This was a good read. I very much enjoy his psychological books more than gory ones.

Arrived today! Thank you!

This is the best Stephen King novel I've read. I really enjoyed this book. It was sweet and sad. I cried my eyes out at the end. The movie, from what I remember, is pretty true to the book. Thanks again for sharing. Will pass it on.
