OMG yes!!! I’m about half way through the new book and am completely hooked. It is one of his better books over the past couple of years. Although I always did enjoy his larger works ala The Stand and It.

This will be amazing if it is on HBO or Showtime.

This is going to be awesome. I loved Spielberg’s “Taken” and will regularly have little marathons with it. Can only imagine how good it’ll be with King and Spielberg together.

With the almost unlimited pool of actors and directors, this “stands” to be the most relevent adaptation of a king novel to date.I would like to see it surpass Rose Red in the scope of production.
