Here is one of my Amazon bargains. I think I paid around £5 for it (shop around as you can get it for less if you don't mind it being a second-hand copy). This was one that was ready to watch as soon as I got the parcel through the post but hubby is not a fan of Stephen King so I had to wait till he went away before I could watch it.!

I did previously review the book - anyone who knows me will know that I am a fan of ...  Read the complete review
