The first time I read this book I picked it up on a whim as I don't read much(like any) of Stephen King. Once I started reading it I couldn't put it down till I had devoured the whole book, in one sitting. 
 I love how he made the monsters(would that be the right term?) something like zombies. Yet was still able to make them work together and not just for a kill. I loved how he made one zombie stand out and be a leader type deal while giving us a major antagonist without totally ruining the antagonists as a whole. 
 All in all I am glad I picked this book up and have since then read it a few more times just for a good thrill!
