There are very few books that have made me absolutely break down and sob, and this was one of them. The story is so real; I've never wanted to reach into a story and help so badly before. Stephen King has penned a masterpiece with this book. ( )

another all time favorite King book for me. yes the movie is amazing as well and i dont think you can go wrong with either.

the characters are great and and even knowing the out come this book will tug on your heart strings for how tragic this story can get. its also not a long book but it some how manages to fit in so much great contend which is impressive.

so you want a great prison drama and you never read a King book before. i think this book is a good gate way into Kings work and proves that he is more then just a horror writer. i know many people who are not a fan of horror and still think thats all what King does but this book will change those peoples minds if they read it.

WOW!

While not my favorite King book, that is still probably tied with The Stand and Wizard and Glass, this is definitely King at his peak. Such an amazing narrator, such a great and condensed plot, perfect amount of twist and guess work for the reader.

The characters are all top notch, some do fall into less rememberable roles but it’s made up with how great most of them are (like the mouse!)

Man every time I read a King book, it makes me want to read another.
