This book was missing the dust jacket and was not in excellent condition as advertised. Really disappointed about the dust jacket not being on this book because it is the best cover on a Stephen King book in my opinion. I will have 2nd thoughts about using thrift books again.

I picked this up almost as an afterthought at a discount store simply because the price was too good to pass up. I normally read a book first before purchasing (I have to set some limits on the buying otherwise the books would take over), but I lucked out with this gem. Stephen King knows how to tell a great story. He gets to the heart of the reader by describing elements in a story than anyone can relate to. His magic is in the interpersonal relationships of everyone in each story, and an almost exhaustive attention to detail that is never boring but engaging. Trying to explain what this book is about would make it sound rather silly, (a group of people in a mining town are kidnapped by an alien being that "uses" their bodies to destroy the town and everyone in it). King knows people and writes about people. The story shows how this setting transforms the people involved, and how they work together to try to defeat this evil being. This is another great King read, long and rambling but utterly engaging and compulsive, and worthy of a spot in any King library.Read full review
What could befall a crotchety, middle-aged author if he were to decide to ride a motorcycle across the country to gather material for a collection of short stories? Stephen King fans should find this among his better writings. The antagonist is absolutely rotten... literally. Ancient evil in the desert, a motley group of hopeful survivors and a boy who receives divine messages are the thread King uses for this tapestry. It's one of his longer novels, and I wasn't sorry in the least. (There are some cross over characters in this one, mainly from The Regulators.)
I was promised to get my order between 31 january and 14 february... got it 31 january, in the morning. The quality was perfect, covered with a plastic wrap. Thank you very much!
