One of my favourite King novels. This one started the dark tower ride for me. It's when I realised so many of his books link back to the Dark Tower. So as soon as I finished this one I started reading the Gunslinger.

The Talisman is awesome. Jack Sawyer is a tough kid who gets to go on an epic adventure, He is helped on his way by Speedy Parker who is one of the gunslingers.

I'll be re-reading this one day, once my daughter is old enough, hopefully she'll join me.
