A real page turner, start to finish. I finished it today. Usually I only read about 30 pages a day but around page 240 I just couldnt put it down. Man that Annie Wilkes was one pyscho beotch! I was ecstatic when she finally got what was coming to her. I was also "on the edge of my seat" sorta speak when there was a couple of plot twists that allowed the possibility that she wasnt dead. Cant wait to start another book.

I finally got around to reading this one months after I bought it... Wow! I never thought I could enjoy someone's pain so much. Annie is so wicked it's not even funny. Also, this isn't like any other work of fiction; it talks about the craft of writing - how stories are thought and up and made. Definitely one of SK's best works. 5/5
