I said B on the first two, and C for the ending. That whole thing made me

B in strength of plot and ending. A for characters
The answer is within
all matter is energy, all energy is GOD
A for the plot, B for characters and C for the ending.
One of my favorites so all As, except a B for the ending. Maybe it's just that I haven't read it since it came out so it could be a little hazy in my mind, but I remember, while enjoying the overall book immensly, being just a tad let down by the ending. But, to paraphrase King himself, it's not the ending, it's the story, and the story kicked ass.
all Cs

When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
C, B, C.
Straight B's.
I agree with Pablo..I loved the story itself but the ending felt a little bit...less than the plot. I gave it an A for plot, B for character development (I dunno it could have deserved an A or a B here..it's been a while since I read it) and a B for the ending as well.
I loved the appearance of Ralph from Insomnia at the very beginning though
I said B, A, B...like the majority so far. I felt like the book was really slow...so a B for plot, but at the same time that is what helped create such an in depth charecter background for us so an A for the charecter developement. A B for the ending...because after all of that...I suppose it just didn't make me feel as whole after reading as I would have liked to - but it did enough.
BAB, I felt that Character development was the main thing this story had going for it. Seemed like king tried to force one this time.
I need to reread this one. It has to have been at least eight or nine years since I read it, and I remember enjoying it intensely at the time.
Let me know what you think upon a reread. I read this one when it first came out, and absolutely loved it. I went back last year and listed to King read the audio version, and I wasn't nearly as in love with it as I was the first time. I don't know if it was just listening to it as opposed to reading it or it could just be that my opinion has changed after so many years.Originally Posted by Aaron
