(  ) Anagarika | Nov 3, 2009 |  I Initially found this book very difficult to get into. I felt almost like I was dragging myself through the first couple of chapters. However, after the slow start - I found that I couldn't put the book down. The imagery was intensive and the basic story premise was quite sweet (A word I rarely use in describing a King novel. All in all I found it was very captivating and recommend it to those who don't mind investing a little bit of time for a quest through time and other worlds.

I think the Talisman's Jack might be sort of a proto-Roland. ( ) annie1378 | Sep 25, 2009 |  no reviews | add a review
