It was the far fetched unrealism of what the characters were that lost me (and that fact that he is a Boston Red Sox Fan). I struggled my way through just to finish it. I think it's one of those books you will either love or hate. Sometimes you never know what to expect from Mr. King. and that is good because if you don't like one of his books, it doesn't mean you won't like others. - TRE
