In my opinion I think this book was lost on the writing. At times it seemed repetitive and dragged on. The ending was a disappointment for all of the leading up to the final conflict and it ended with a failed magic word and a well placed swing of a wooden bat or the Talisman as it was called.

It did have one memorable charter, Henry Leyden. a blind radio deejay with a plethora of personas. It was his fight with the evil behind the serial killer that would have made a better climax.




I also liked the peculiar narrative that desribed the settings and moods of the characters, setting and plot.

I think I already thouroughly covered what I didn't like.

Stephen King is one of my favorite authors but I still think some of his older stuff is better than this book.
