Just finished rereading Rose Madder, read it last when it first came out. Great book, great read. Just loved, as a member of the nation, that Norm was a diehard Yankee fan. Tee hee.

im actually on my second time of reading this book, the first time i was only about 13, and i really didnt understand the whole thing with the painting - im hopeing in re - reading it that i'll get what thats all about this time. cant believe how much you dont pick up on / forgotten untill you re-read it a few years later.

i found Norm a really hard character to "read" first time around, possibly as at 13 years of age you dont really believe such evil exists.

Classic King. I loved his references to DT, supernatural elements and his characters, of course. The juxtaposition and tension between Norm and Rose couldn't possibly be better!

Stephen expertly crafts characters we love to loath. It's great!
