A true classic, I have read this book about 6 times, so that says something. Get past the first 40 pages and you will never sleep again untill its finished. The trouble is you dont want it to finish, so no other option to start from the beginning and enjoy it all over again.

I read this book for the 1st time when I was 15 years-old. I like it so much because it took me to other worlds that every summer I would read it again. Now I am 39 and I am giving my books to my kids to read. I have 6 copies of The Talisman in English and Spanish. Thanks for the art.

I read my first Stephen King book at age 8 or 9 and it was his short story collection Night Shift followed by Carrie, The Shining and THEN one of my all time Favs: Pet Sematary so it was later in life that I went back and read some of the other books and stories and found that no matter what he wrote about it was amazing! The Talisman amazing! Black House too!
