You always know what you're going to get with a Stephen King: a male writer protagonist in the midst of an existential crisis who has to look back into the past—whether his or someone else's—to learn why he is the way he is and how to be a better man. Wasn't my favorite King, but would categorize as one of the more romantic books I've ever read.
