I just read:
I kind of just chose it out of my stash randomly. As far as King goes, I've already read Under the Dome, Salem's Lot, The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger, and Cell. This story felt a lot different, obviously, as for one thing it was much shorter.
It was told competently, and you got a real sense of the main character's indomitable spirit, but to tell the truth, I never really got close to feeling creeped out or anxious or anything. Then again, it takes a hell of a lot for a book to do that to me. Cell might have managed to build that kind of atmosphere, but this didn't quite cut it.
Overall, it was decent, but I don't feel as if I ever need to read it a second time.
Before that I read Harry Harrison's Eden trilogy, focusing on what would've happened had the dinosaurs not gone extinct. It was most excellent.
