Review:

Well that was the first Stephen King book I have read. Not that I was avoiding it, but when you read as much as I do, coupled with a 25 year beer break, some books and authors get missed.

This was brilliant, amazing, beautifully crafted.

Scary, sure. But more importantly it makes you feel part of the narrative. If it is described as cold in the book, I had to turn the fire on.

Bestsellers sell best for a reason. This book was full of those reasons.

An amazing insight into the zeitgeist of the 1970s, like I’m always banging on about with the volume 1 Man Thing comics from 1974.
