Title: Well I liked it anyway
Review: It took me one night to read this- even if the plot did seem to 'drag' King has a way of making you (well some people) need to know the outcome. His clever use of language as a tool of suspense was a major drawcard. Even though I am Australian and have know idea (and don't really care) about baseball, it didnt matter to me- I still found it an effective little novel. I dont think anyone else other than King could get way with the dodgy 'monster' or 'God of the Lost' or whatever it was. It was a scary being until the end when it revealed itself. Still, I kept on reading because King has this knack of making you want to find out what happens. I can see where some people might find it lame- its not everyones idea of a good scare, but I really did enjoy it for the simple fact that King has that effect on me- even in some of his really lacklustre novels (Regulators, Thinner)he still has a way of leading you to the end of the story.
