Writing this review is going to break my heart, so I'm going to get it over with as quickly as possible. Deal? Okay.The most interesting thing about rereading Stephen King's works in chronological order is seeing how my opinions of them change in comparison to how I felt years ago. Experiencing his ...

I reckon I'll have to come back to this one after I've read the whole Dark Tower saga.

I admit, I have yet to finish it. I read about half before I put it down and donated it to the library. I was disappointed.

You can say a lot of things about Stephen King, but not that he cannot tell one hell of a story. After reading It (over 1000 pages) I had to take a break from his work, but when I saw this title, I was interested enough to pick up another of his large tomes.
