I really don't exactly know how to review this one.

Did I like it overall? Yep, I did. The audiobook was long at over 25 hours and it was interesting enough for me to keep listening. I couldn't quite figure out what Leland Gaunt was (and I probably should have, duh!). Didn't really love the ending with the horse, and wasn't surprised about Iowa.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, how in the world does Mr. King come up with these stories? I'm just glad that he does. In this one in particular, I loved how the story unfolded over and over again with all of the townspeople -- the way the dots all intertwined and connected was what kept me listening.

Now I'm off to listen to Dolores Claiborne. Yes, I know. I'm the only person who hasn't read/listened to this one (don't judge me!).

As a kid, I enjoyed this book with almost religious fervor. The idea that even little trespasses can have great harm struck me as a very important idea both then and now.
