This book is not for everyone. For one its over 700 pages long. Another reason is that it deals with what some people say is uncomfortable topics:abortion, mental illness, domestic abuse and the afterlife and possible alternate worlds.
Another reason why this book is unique and different from other books is that the hero is a regular joe who happens to be in his 70's!
I loved this book. It took my mind to a place where few books can take me. I was not here reading the book-I was in Derry, Maine with Ralph and Lois and Bill. The sweet Natalie and her mother Helen. The insane Ed and the 3 little bald headed doctors: Clotho, Lacheses and the nasty Atropos.
Walk side by side with these characters as they battle each other and themselves through hard, insane times and insomnia. And always be aware of the Crimson King!

I agree, this book was uncomfortable to read because of the disgustingly realistic details but that is what makes me love this book.

I agree. I didn't *read* this book...I visited Derry and lived among the people. That's the beauty of King's writing; he draws you in to the world he has created and the madness that lies within. I've seen the comments about the tie-in and read-through with DT, and I have to tell you that I haven't read DT yet, and I'm still thoroughly enjoying the story as a stand-alone. I think it comes from expecting King's brilliant madness and random happenings. I'm reading DT next, and I can't wait!
