Title: silly, very silly
Review: I don't get it. Others seem to love this book--and I thought it trite and sentimental, almost to the point of making me sick. So much treacle. Yes, there were some nice sentences. But I felt the author was trying so hard to justify her "love will save us" message in the face of such horror, that I sometimes believed she would better have used her talents in the greeting card industry. Yes, I like the bravado of taking on Stephen King. Kudos to her for that. But she didn't do much except rehash an old myth, using sexual and gender stereotypes that defied my imagination. I felt we were headed straight to film. Maybe a screenplay would have been a better choice in the first place.
