Well this is my second King - (have previously read The Dead Zone). As with the other book, the author's imagination is great. Still, after this book I would not classify King as a Horror writer - although it was gory and "disgusting" in parts:-) I was not terrified.(Do not wish to be) I felt a bit claustrophobic as the first 320+ pages of a 380 page book were spent in the same room, with the main character tied to the bed...reminiscing about her life. Perhaps for this reason I could not read it for long periods at a time...and I sometimes felt that the story is progressing too slowly. Perhaps it was the author's wish to make the reader feel time is passing very slowly - like it was doing for the (main) character. Meanwhile you get to know her background - which ultimately lead her to be in the current situation.
The exciting part was the last 80 pages, which are over before you know it.
