This is the only Stephen King book I've ever finished. That's worth three stars, right? the resolution/ending is ridiculous, but King has cannilly made the thing so long you're just glad it's over somehow.

I know a bit about the subject matter and I thought this was well-written, not pointy-headed at all, and valuable.

Hitchhiker's Guide, if Ford bragged about his cock all the time. One of the funniest, most satisfying and delightful books I have ever read.
