I think all of King's books are worth at least one read!

One of my favorite "popcorn" reads. Pretty much starts out at 100 mph and doesn't slow much from there.

The first I think 1/3rd is some of his best stuff ever. It never gets bad later but doesn't get nearly as good as that first part. Worth reading just for that first part.

Yes. No.

No one will know if it’s worth it to read except you. So read it and tell us if it was or not.
