First King novel in some time for me. I used to devour his works when they came out for years, but I really thought that in later years the quality of his novels dropped slowly. I decided to give this one a shot since I had just read a similar book with a similar premise. I was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed this quite a bit. Enough excitement, suspense and surprise to keep me turning the pages.
I found a couple minor issues with the book that I felt I should mention. First, King’s politics came out early on, there was even a blame Bush moment early on. The politics seemed to come out of nowhere and really didn't add to the story. Knowing the time frame this was written in, I almost put the book away as I didn't feel like being preached to. But the politics ended almost as abruptly as they started so I'm glad I keep reading. Second issue, the ending. No surprise here for those who've read King before. Endings are not his strong suit and he definitely kept you hanging on this one. Not is worse ending by far, but still I would have liked a bit more closure.
