	read in April, 2008 Katie said: "This book was my least favourite of this series so far. It isn't that the writing itself was bad; in fact I can see a great improvement both in style and technique here from the beginning of the series.

	Katie added a quote: "Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square hole. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do." — Apple Computer Inc. add this quote »

But this book h...more " add a comment

	read in April, 2008 Katie said: "Meh, definitely not the best King work, which is probably why it was initially published as a Bachman book. A little weird, a little cliched, didn't find it particularly scary, didn't find it particularly relateable. I think you have to have some l...more " add a comment
