This is the second (or third?) time to read this book, easily more than ten years since the last time. I never read the complete series – maybe I lost interest after the third book, so I thought I should give it another go.
The story contained a lot more details than I remembered, which is a good sign for a re-read. Also it contains a foreword that is written more recently, which is one of the benefits of reading an ebook version.
I enjoyed the book – it went by quickly – and it has all the marks of a typical story by Stephen King. There are also the italicized flashbacks of some characters, complete with all their backgrounds and motivations. I’m not a big fan of these diversions from the main story, but it is just the part of reading books by this author.
In a few weeks the next book in the series should come up from the library – I’m looking forward to continuing the journey.
