My rating: 2 of 5 stars
Every time I read a Stephen King novel, three things happen: 1. I find myself thinking of that Gary Larson cartoon, wherein a prolific author, (Stephen King, John Grisham, Michael Crichton, Anne Rice) gets writer's block. The punch-line of the cartoon is that he or she never really does get what you or I would call "Writer's Block", rather, they get stuck on choosing a haunted house or a haunted graveyard as their plot device. 2. I find myself counting the number of references to other Stephen King books...Salem's Lot, Cujo, Carrie and a bit of something else were all in this one...just off the top of my head. 3. I think about riding my bicycle, and am reminded of King's near fatal bicycle accident on a secluded road in Maine.
