    <body><![CDATA[I still need to read The Regulators... but here is my two cents on Desperation.<br/><br/>In all of King's books, there are major overlying themes.

    <body><![CDATA[I find Stephen King books rather hard to read and to get started.  This one seemed to flow much easier and was able to make it to the end.
