Meh. It didn't do all that much for me. I give it a 2.
I voted Haven't Read. It's sitting on my dining room table right now, in my pile of "Read This in the Next Lil Bit". I remember recording the mini-series on a *gasp* VCR, but I never watched it.
I liked it, and have it on DVD as well and have enjoyed the film immensely, I recommend it.4
The answer is within
all matter is energy, all energy is GOD
Just average for me.
never read...

bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Haven't read it either, although I do have the hardcover edition. Not a big fan of the screenplay format. In his introduction, King wrote that if the series wouldn't have gone on, he'd rewrite the teleplay into a novel. I wish he'd done that.
3. It was just an average story. I'm not a huge fan of reading screenplays anyway.
Margaret Emmie Mackey Catoe, you are, have been, and always will be my soulmate, and I love you.

I agree it would have been better if it were not a screenplay, but one night I actually read along while the filmed played...yeah I know....

I had to vote "haven't read".

I don't think it's word-for-word with the miniseries, right?Originally Posted by alinda

I gave it a 4. Good stuff, but there were parts in it I didn't like to much, mostly the characters, thats why it didn't get a 5.
all i have to say isSpoiler:
a 1.

There's logic in nonsense.
Give me all the bacon and eggs you have.
excellent point.
Have it but have never read it. Watched the movie, though. Since the book is just the screenplay, I've often thought about following along while watching the DVD.

Does having seen the movie count as having read it?
Have you heard of people with short fuses? Well, I have no fuse at all, and there's a thousand could testify to it if I hadn't stilled their tongues for good.
You can't ignore my girth.
same 4 meI liked it, and have it on DVD as well and have enjoyed the film immensely, I recommend it.
I have many leather bound books.
I'm kind of a big deal.
Changing the plans that I’ve been setting on, I’m scared by the way that my life is getting gone
Never read this.
I haven't read it either (I didn't even know that it was in written form) but I did enjoy the mini-series. I suppose, since the screenplay content is by it's very nature in the film, then I could still vote on whether I liked it, but since the poll seems to be concerned with the screenplay, and reading and watching is a different experience, I thought it best to choose the 'haven't read' option.
Like I said before, although I'm not sure, but I think the book may differ in some places from the filmed version. I haven't read this one myself, so those that have please correct me if I'm wrong, but that's generally what happens all the time during filming.
King says in the intro that the screen-play is darker than the actual mini-series, because they (the TV company) censored some of the content. SO in that sense, they are different from each other.
I give it a 3.
Ah, in that case, I vote that I never read it.

I'm actually about 1/2 way through reading this, and have watched the mini-series recently. There are only a very few places that are different, and some details which are lost in the viewing. Here's for anyone who's watched but not read, if they're interested:
Spoiler:
I like the story, so 4
I really want to vote on this one because I love the miniseries, however I have yet to read the screenplay. I might try to head over to the bookstore to give it a read before the voting is over.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
