Wonderful introduction to the works of a genius 
Only available as used via Amazon or maybe try e-bay? Tough to put down, Decent ending, His best work Poor demarcation between good and bad charactersMaybe a little predictable Great idea, His best ending, Unique causes of death A little slower than normalLocations not well rounded Good Characters, Well Written Uneventful, Boring Kept my interest, action keeps picking up towards the end Ending was a little disappointing and obvious for me, definitely not scary at all King at his finest., You get to read the books behind those great films. Hamster's seem to like nibbling this book.Wings Over the Watcher - Priscilla Masters
