    <body><![CDATA[I took entirely too long to read this book. I kept hoping to get sucked in by the story, but it never happened. I ended up finishing for the sake of finishing, but I never got past being bored with it. The book's theme - the dangers of placing great wealth on one's material possessions - was an inte...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75070999">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Of the Stephen King I have read thus far (I have read all of the Dark Tower and maybe seven other novels), this is one of my least favorites. Being Stephen King though, there is still a lot of good stuff here, but here are some of my complaints (minor spoilers on #3):<br/><br/>1.

    <body><![CDATA[There are a few reasons why I totally loved this book.  The first is it is kind of a sequel to The Dark Half (probably one of my favourite novels of all time), with lots of subtle references to what happened afterwards.  The second is the main protagonist is Sheriff Alan Pangborn, supporting player ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/42891617">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Oh, BLERGH. Stephen King should have taken his own advice on editing out the bloat, because this book was WAY, WAYYYY too long. I was expecting something along the lines of &quot;It&quot;, which, though it was also extremely long, kept my attention the whole way through and had me on the edge of my ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/35226909">more...</a>]]></body>
