Title: Man, this was so not good
Product review: I'm convinced that Stephen King praised this book and did McLarty a favor simply because they are friends and not because King really liked this book.First off, the voice of Smithy, the narrator, is so inarticulate, simple-minded, uninteresting, and boring that it sounds like a child is telling the story, which would be fine except that Smithy is in his forties. There wasn't a sentence longer than 5 words.Second, the storyline of Smithy and Norma is so contrived, manipulated, and predictable that I knew how this book was going to end the moment we met Norma. Why doesn't Smithy say 'I Love You' to Norma?Third, the fact that Smithy, who is not crazy, has constant delusions of seeing his dead sister is preposterous.Do yourself a favor and don't waste your time reading this. You will be disappointed.
