You'll lose a lot of sleep.

Ralph does. At first he starts waking up earlier. And earlier. then the hallucinations start - the colours, shapes and strange auras. Not to mention the bald doctors who always turn up at the scene of a death.

That's when Ralph begins to lose a lot more than sleep. When he begins to understand why his hitherto mild-mannered friend, Ed, is getting out of control - dangerously so. And why his home town is about to become the new Armageddon.

An evil of unimaginable proportions has found a way in and Ralph has only one chance to beat it. The stakes are high - they always are when you're playing for human souls. With a Joker in the pack...a bald one with a rusty scalpel. (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.
