A.D.D.
Got this at a secondhand shop for a good price, anyone read it? Is it up to King standards?

In an emergency we walk
Whoa, can't believe I've only just noticed this thread. My King watching isn't up to scratch!
I've read it a couple of times (although it's one of the King books I don't actually own. I think...) and I enjoyed it. Although that's to be expected from me, I guess, so I'll go into some more details. Although I don't think it's one of his most memorable (I know some who might disagree, though) it's certainly still very good. It's somewhat like the precursor to Lisey's Story, dealing with a character in the wake of his wife's death, trying to deal with that, while having both a human and supernatural threat. Although the supernatural is much more at play in this book, and of quite a traditional quality; this book really is a ghost story. A good plot and characters, and some very nice eerie moments (such as the with the fridge magnets) and a very shocking moment about three quarters of the way through. I hope, as with any King book, that you enjoy it.
Oh, 2500 posts. Yay.
