I read Bag of Bones years ago and just listened to it on audio. I thoroughly enjoyed Stephen Kings' reading of it. I found myself driving and clasping my hand over my mouth when I thought Mike might drown Kyra (and I had already read the book!). The book also brought back memories of my Mom who was from Berlin NH (not far from western Maine). My mother would often say "good gorry" (sic), no one else I know says this. That is until I heard it spoken in the book. Must be a regional thing.
