Title: Another great work by the master of horror
Review: The only reason I would not give this book 5 stars is the reason that someone else had brought up. Why didn't Linoge just go in and take the kid away instead of putting the townsfolk through all of that misery. This brings me to a couple of conclusions. One, a recurring theme in King's work of testing your faith against an evil most horrid. We have seen this theme in 'The Stand', 'Salem's Lot', and 'The Shining'. Which brings me to the other conclusion in that the ending (which most people hated), the people of that town got what they deserved. In taking the easier of the two roads out they lose the child. Where, if they had stood up to Linoge and put all of their faith together, things might have turned out different. I commend Mr. King on presenting a trying and extremely tough decision for people to ponder. What would you do in their place????
