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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I enjoyed the book – it went by quickly – and it has all the marks of a typical story by Stephen King.

In a few weeks the next book in the series should come up from the library – I\u2019m looking forward to continuing the journey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
