I'm liking this book more than "The Stand", because most of the characters are kids (& they're more charming than the horrible adults King tends to write about), BUT I'm rolling my eyes at the author-insert character Bill Denborough, who grew up to be a horror writer (gee, I wonder who's the inspiration! *eyeroll*), who's the alpha, best-looking one, the one the only girl character immediately likes (*EYEROLL*) UGH.

My fave character at the moment is young Ben Hanscom, who's fat, sure, but also polite, kind, smart, & secretly brave. His thoughts after mailing his haiku to Beverly was touching, that he doesn't need her to know it was from him as long as it made her happy. Selflessness is ALWAYS touching.

And King still SUCKS at writing female characters. She is ALWAYS defined by her attractiveness (as a child & adult, practically every character thinks Beverly is pretty/hot). Like "The Stand", there is also only one female &, in that one, she hooked up with the main hero, which here is Bill (author insert!). I really hope not & I want to be proven wrong, but I'm not optimistic. Bill already has the hot wife too. UGH.
