This was good. Mr. King loves using portals/doors into other worlds that can always turn sinister in less than a second. ( )

Not bad but probably one of my least favorite Stephen King novels. ( )

My favorite Stephen King book to date. It's a little 'out there,' and probably not as "good" as a lot of his other novels, but it sucked me into it. It takes endurance to get through it if you're not used to the fantasy-mythological stuff. It was confusing, and has a less-than-perfect ending, but I found it entertaining regardless. 4 out of 5 psychotic cops on a major head-trip. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com (ISBN 0451186362, Paperback)

After 14 years of being beaten, Rose Daniels wakes up one morning and leaves her husband -- but she keeps looking over her shoulder, because Norman has the instincts of a predator. And what is the strange work of art that has Rose in a kind of spell? In this brilliant dark-hued fable of the gender wars, Stephen King has fashioned yet another suspense thriller to keep readers right at the edge.
