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.
The answer is within
all matter is energy, all energy is GOD
This is exactly how I feel about the movie. It does get a big 5 from me. It is my favorite King book of all time.Originally Posted by R_of_G
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.

When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
Margaret Emmie Mackey Catoe, you are, have been, and always will be my soulmate, and I love you.
Con todo mi corazon, por todo de mis dias. And I always will, in this life and into the next.

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....
This whole tournament has really made me want to re-read all the King books I have read, some so long ago now. I never thought I'd ever be re-reading books, because there are just so many left to read, and so little time to do it in, but I will just have to.
"So little time" worries me.... (How much longer do you have to live?This whole tournament has really made me want to re-read all the King books I have read, some so long ago now. I never thought I'd ever be re-reading books, because there are just so many left to read, and so little time to do it in, but I will just have to.)
But yeah, I haven't read every King book I have yet, and I already want to re-read some I've already read....
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."So little time" worries me....

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.
A true firewasp ninja would never wear such a ridiculous sweater.
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.
You can't ignore my girth.
Another 4.
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.
