Title: A more controlled, literary King
Review: For those of us who appreciate the more literary novels King has written (e.g. The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon), this is one of the best. There's tight, controlled writing; consistent characterizations; believability; and plenty of literary allusions for those of us who enjoy them. And not too many superfluous characters.Some people might be put off by the political subplot, but it's interesting to me how it presages the political strands in Under the Dome, not to mention the Tea Party movement!This is about the 20th King novel I've read, and I would rank it easily within his top 5.
