This was my first Stephen King book. I bought it with Insomnia and It. At first, I really liked it, but with all the homework and everything, I realized I didn't want to read such a big book so I gave it up. And now I started again, and I LOVED it. Especially, the first part- Low Men In Yellow Coats. I love Ted in every literal meaning of the word. Several times I was about to burst into tears, and I think I did once. It's definitely one of my favorite books. Throughout reading it, I never went like, "hmm, I didn't like that". It was so satisfying. And the envelope with the roses? Well, I would've liked it better if Ted sent him a letter with it, but the roses by themselves make the story that much more depressing. I haven't watched the movie and I don't plan to. Every movie ruins every book for me, so I never read the book AND watch the movie.
