This was a pleasure to listen to as an audiobook. My love for King's books has been rekindled with this.

I was really invested in the characters, so the ending was especially moving. I didn't know a Stephen King book would make me cry. ...more

I haven't read anything by King for quite a while (and The Girl who loved Tom Gordon is probably my favorite by him), but I am so glad that I picked this up.
