Query: I'd been away far too long...

It had been quite some time since I had read a book by Mr. King and I had forgotten what he was capable of when on top of his game. This book is a masterpiece and would be the crowning achivement of lesser writers' careers. King is a master of taking seemingly ordinary situations and turning the world he has created upside down while still keeping the believability quotient high. Although the book is long, it holds your interest throughout. I would highly recommend it whether you are a King fan or not.
