I thought Green Mile was a crowning glory for favorite author Stephen King, but this one really does it for me, playing on his portals into a different time and place, supreme intelligence building and holding the plot, and suspense throughout, more a sort that has you wishing and hoping, rather than the frightener one.
The word-smithery and craftsmanship are all there, some of the dialogue streams had me laughing, well done American dialogue can be such a delight.
For those of us Americanophiles, and who grew through those times, the read's a nostalgic treat.
And, inside the back cover, advance notice of another novel in the Dark Tower, gunslinger series!!
