It was crap. Sadly, this is how a great deal of King adaptations turned out. Then again, Bag of Bones is a beloved book of mine and I found many of the changes they felt 'we're not a big deal' were a big deal.

I read the book a long time ago, and I may be mistaken, but as far as I remember, the narrator's wife died quite suddenly of a blood clot?
