Far more to chew on than Carrie or Pet Sematary—and not just because it has too many characters and asides that, hey, maybe should've been edited down or removed. It's strange and angry, goofy and horrific, like a Coke machine flying at your head at 80mph.
There's a good book somewhere in these ideas, but it's not this one. It's bad! Even King says so, and he's correct. Deeply and inexplicably misogynist. Edward Hermann did a good job of reading it though.
