Not that guy, and I don't read much King, but it is worth reading. I liked it quite a bit. The villain is really interesting, and there's a little bit of gore, a little bit of creepy, some good characters (the woman with the arthritis + the villain), a little bit of sex so you could put in an apathetic jerk while you're reading, and an interesting plot.

I would pay to own it.

I enjoyed it. It's the first Stephen King novel I've ever read. The theme is what really got me, with this one. It was a very far reaching idea, with a very mean outcome. It wasn't too flashy or new, certainly not very scary, but that theme really stuck out for me. I like to imagine that I'd be able to withstand the shit that Gaunt was throwing at Castle Rock, but I know that I couldn't. That's what makes it meaningful, for me.

Not a great work of literature, to be sure, but King set out to do one thing in particular with this book. He succeeded, so I have to give him a bit of credit.

Yeah, I got that impression, too. Alan Pangborn was a nice twist on that. He was the only person in the whole of Castle Rock who was willing to see through Gaunt, who Gaunt feared. I don't know about you, but that scene where Gaunt's seized up in his shop, realizing that Alan has a chance of seeing him? Fucking inspiring. And why? Was it the overwhelming depression that allowed Alan to finally beat Gaunt, or the supernatural events he's witnessed in the past?

I've suffered from depression before. The idea that such a deep pit in my life could, later on, allow me to punch out a fucking demon? That's awesome.

If she were a sassy black woman, I think she'd say:

"Yo, Oprah, I just learned to read, and I read this book you recommended called "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne.....it seems to suggest that me getting raped by my stepdad twice, giving birth to a retarded baby, contracting HIV, and stealing a bucket of fried chicken was all apparently due to the "law of attraction"?

> Catcher in the Rye

She didn't write the paper for Stradlater.

She seduced Ackley.

She didn't walk from Pencey prep to the train station because it was too damned far and cold and she doesn't do the walking thing, so she took a cab the next day.

She doesn't wear the hunting hat because she'll be damned if she's going to let some dumb hat fuck with her hair.

She got into loud fights with numerous bartenders who wouldn't serve her drinks because she's underaged.

She didn't tip the cab drivers and she didn't give a fuck where the ducks were.

She beat the living shit out of Maurice and Sunny.

She still did a lot of spotting of phonies but her digressions turned more to their "trifling bullshit" than their phoniness.

Mr. Antolini gets slapped down for creeping up on her in her sleep.

Because she loves Phoebe she decides to stay.

In the end it turns out that she got pregnant when she seduced Ackley and now she has essentially become Precious.

But, in spite of these deficiencies, the wishes, the hopes, the confidence, the predictions of the small band of true friends who witnessed the ceremony, were fully answered in the perfect happiness of the union. Oh lawdy, what a week.
