This book was a little disappointing. I know so many people that have read it and loved it but for some reason I couldn't really get into until the end. There was almost too much backstory in the first three parts and not enough scary moments. The second half was much better though and I found myself easily engrossed in it, otherwise I probably would have given it only two stars. This was my first Stephen King book and I'm hoping I like the next one better. 
 10/1001.
