Title: Is this a joke?
Product review: I had high hopes for this book after reading B.'s Dome, which is a fascinating read. What I discovered was that it is entirely possible for the same author to write both fabulous non-fiction, and one of the most appalling pieces of fiction I've ever read in my life. I forced myself to stick it out to the end, convinced that it simply HAD to get better. But the ending was so ridiculously stupid that I actually had to go back and read it again, because I was sure that I must have read it wrong (I hadn't). I got the impression that King must have made a bet that he could write a serious-sounding book with the most idiotic story-line humanly imaginable. How many hours of my life did I waste, plowing through this drivel?
