I had not been that attracted to Mr. King's novels before. Horror is not really my thing. But now that I've seen some of the more interesting films based on his stories (like The Green Mile and The Secret Garden) and I read his On Writing, I thought I should read one of his actual novels and see what the hubbub was about.
I did like the book (better than the movie of the same name). I'm still not sure if I can become a dyed-in-the-wool Stephen King fan. I have a later book, From a Buick 8 waiting for a future read. I guess I'll know better after that. I do think I learned a bit about storytelling from reading this book and can relate better to what he says about his craft in On Writing.
