An intresting book. I really enjoyed it, I find it to be more disturbing than many other King books. All in all, I thought the book was very good.

Not all of King's short stories are good, but this one sure hit the spot. Admittedly, I liked the first half better than the second half. It was good, but I felt it went in a direction I wasn't as interested in.
