I'm taking it on vacation with me, so I've been waiting and waiting, and it's just been staring at me from my TBR bookcase (in my special Books to Take to the Beach pile). I agree, NOS4A2 did feel more like a King book (the talents of main characters reminded me of The Shining). Loved it though, and looking forward to this one!

I like horror, but for whatever reason I hate reading about it. Maybe this one would be good for me. I like coming of age stories and the mix of crime and a ghost story sounds like this one is definitely unique!<br /><br />Thanks for stopping my Pretty In Fiction earlier :)Jessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095395291184491042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572136475100574200.post-23735396512114531232013-07-24T11:39:25.113-05:002013-07-24T11:39:25.113-05:00I was very curious about this one.

Glad to hear its a good one!Tabitha (Pabkins)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11945588780690794396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572136475100574200.post-29591128521297362292013-07-24T08:12:27.391-05:002013-07-24T08:12:27.391-05:00P.S.: great banner!P.S.: great banner!Roberta R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18228840429799100354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572136475100574200.post-9345769730361633962013-07-24T08:09:30.703-05:002013-07-24T08:09:30.703-05:00This is so up my alley - I love dead characters wa...This is <i>so</i> up my alley - I love dead characters walking LOL. My husband owns a number of SK books, but they're usually a though read for me...it's not the gore in itself (<b>The Last Vampire/Thirst</b> by C. Pike and the <b>Supernatural</b> TV series <i>are</i> gory, right? and I usually don't even flinch at them), so much as the disturbing images he loves to use. I was only able to stomach <b>The Shining</b> so far...but this one sounds safe...and interesting.<br />New follower BTW, and I hope to discover new exciting thrillers and the likes here!Roberta R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18228840429799100354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572136475100574200.post-6675930339878598722013-07-23T16:56:44.958-05:002013-07-23T16:56:44.958-05:00This sounds like my kind of King book.

I agree, it really is a great summer read, and it's one of the few Stephen King books I'd feel comfortable recommending to friends who normally don't read thrillers, horror, etc. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572136475100574200.post-54695027648119715772013-07-23T11:02:03.343-05:002013-07-23T11:02:03.343-05:00Oooh great review, Jennifer.

I think the size of most of his books are intimidating. I have one here and it's like 1200 pages O_O. This one sounds like a good read though I like how weird and creepy his movies are so I def. want to try one of his books!Gisellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16953187386418088952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572136475100574200.post-58671129761460626632013-07-23T08:32:54.569-05:002013-07-23T08:32:54.569-05:00Great review!!
