Query: TEN STARS!

I agree, you either love this book or hate it, and I LOVE IT! I especially enjoyed the religious overtone of the book and the unusual way King handled Randall Flagg and the other characters. I too wondered what happened to the rest of the world (aside from the US), but it didn't ruin the book for me. (Of course I live in the US, so...)By the way, the movie wasn't half bad either...for a movie <grin>. I saw it first and then bought the book. I'd never done that before.
