I loved it, particularly the titular story. One of the better anti-war stories I've read in quite awhile. I'd have actually rather seen a film about that story than Ted's Connecticut adventure.
I really liked the title story and Low Men in Yellow Coats. The other two were fine, but not good enough, for me personally, to deserve a 5.
I gave it a four. Great work, but maybe not excellent- at least all the way through.
4 , A good story, and a good read.

I have to give this one a 3. It was good in parts, mostly the Low Men novella (novel?), but some parts of it, especially the titular story, really dragged for me.
I love this book. There wasn't a story in here that I didn't enjoy. Hell, I even started playing Hearts because of this book. 5 it is.

I like Hearts, the card game, I often played it on my old PC at the time.
4.5, really, but I rounded up.
I think I need to read it again....
Well, thankfully I'm just about to turn 29, so I'm hoping I still have a few good years left in me. But still, given the vast amount of world literature there is, both classic and new, I can't fathom re-reading many books. But what I was saying is that this tournament made me realize that I probably should, at least some of my best-liked King books, because they're just so damn good.
I gave this one a 3. It was okay, but that's about it.

Ick!
Wild how different opinions are on these.

I was thinking that too. This is Aaron's favorite, or close to favorite, I think. I never liked it that much. It was good, but ... meh.

There's logic in nonsense.
Give me all the bacon and eggs you have.
a 4. not quite bad enough for a 3 but definitely not worthy of a 5.
4. I liked it.
Also, if not for it, I might never have started the Dark Tower series!
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.

5! Excellent, and a great illustration, I think, of where SK is coming from.
I only read this book because it was part of the Dark Tower Mythos. I saw the movie and pretty much hated it... But the book is wonderful and it's a great collection of stories (it was pretty dumb that the story in the movie had pretty much zero to do with the title). A 5.
