it was ok
bookshelves: stephen-king

I had a difficult time enjoying this one. It started out good but then it fizzled out for me. The story could have been shorter by 100 pages and paced along slowly. After Stephen King filled in the plot, the rules of the 'walk', and began to introduce the characters the story lagged. I have enjoyed other Stephen King stories tremendously but this one fell short. Thanks!
