Ralph Roberts never expected to live out his remaining golden years mourning the death of his beloved wife. He also never expected to begin suffering from chronic insomnia for the first time in his life. Each night he wakes up a little bit earlier, until he's barely sleeping at all. During his overnight walks, he's now observing some strange things going n here in Derry, Maine—and they're more than sleep-deprived hallucinations. There's definitely a mean streak that's always been running through this small New England city; underneath its ordinary surface, awesome and terrifying forces are at work. The dying has been going on in Derry for a long, long time, and Ralph Roberts will soon find that lack of sleep is the least of his worries.... --back cover

I really wanted to love this. The opening and first hundred pages or so we're so great. But it kept going and going and going and had a romance plot that I was not into and kept going and when it finally ended, I'm not so sure that I was happy that I finished it. I could have quit early on and perhaps appreciated the book a bit more.
Stephen King is my comfort food when it comes to literature, but reading this felt like homework. So happy to be done!

Well written, but some of the plot was ill-conceived.

не так потужно, як "duma key", але дуже подібно за стилем і ритмом (слухав аудіоверсію англійською).

Magnificent! 5 stars in its own right. If I could give it a sixth for the Dark Tower references, I would. This should really The Dark Tower: An Aside.
