Title: One of the worst books I've ever read
Product review: I can't believe that Stephen King really said "You must read this book" . . . it was, without a doubt, the worst book I've ever read -- and I've read a lot.The characters are shallow and their conversations are not natural. I agree with an earlier reviewer who complained that the characters are too casual about what they see and hear -- I would add they are way too gullible. I found it inconceivable that someone would see the character "Stumpy" and alow themselves to be convinced that he's just a quirky guy who lives in the woods and is truly happy and content living that way.I also think there were too many gratuitous sexual references in the book. Truly, how did the scene with Anita and Barry move the story forward? I think it was just a way for the author to try and shock his audience.I, too, bought this book because, as members of an Residents' Association I thought it was a clever idea. Well, that's all it was -- a clever idea that never went anywhere.
