I have finally sat down... (spoilers - TS)

I love the book, but I wouldn't want a sequel. I prefer the characters as they were left at the end and I prefer seeing them just like this- heading toward a happy end. No end is truly happy, so an open ending is as close as we can get.

In many ways the best SK novel; I too took a long time on it, not quite as long as you but not far off. I won't say how long lol.

Man I have got to buy myself a copy of this book. I read it almost exactly five years ago, and I wasn't even a Stephen King fan then, just a recent high school grad that needed some Summer reading.

But even though it's been so long since I've read it, a good deal remains fresh in my mind, and I remember loving almost all of it. And like a lot of people, I really enjoyed Larry Underwood's character. He's one of my favorites from the SK Universe, so real, so easy to imagine someone acting like him.

The only complaint I have with it was the end, how the whole Flagg ordeal was handled. To me, it was a touch anti-climatic. But it was a small flaw, and compared to the magnificence of the rest of the story, relatively easy to swallow.
