I am glad that I read this book again. I read this novel in high school and I hated it. I felt that it was too slow and felt like there were too many details yet not enough.

Now, 6 years later, I enjoyed reading this novel. I still thought that the novel dragged. I kept feeling like the book would not end. I enjoyed the adventure in this novel and the story created was magnificent. I, however, would have liked the novel to be more of a fast paced novel.

This is the first book to actually crack me up in years. Even if you don't like all the stories, everyone is bound to find at least a few they enjoy (even if you just read the zombie stories). The zombie stories range from creepy to romantic to just plain hilarious, and because they're short they're a great pick-me-up at the end of the day. Due to the mature nature of some of the stories I wouldn't recommend this book for anyone who has not yet entered high school.

This is another one of King's great short stories, up there with The Long Walk. A very insightful psychological thriller, that has, at some points in time, been banned from book shelves. It is one of the stories in the Bachman Books, one that is always well remembered, probably because of the effect reading it has on you.
King delves into the mind of a high school shooter, it's violent and graphic, it is not tasteless. As Bachman King did some of his best writing.
