I had not read Stephen King for 25 years, and was left to books like "Pet Sematary" or "Misery". This book then me so completely unprepared, both in the subject of how it is treated. It is a wonder ... I was taped (and the word is weak) from the first pages, and I enjoyed from beginning to end. This is both a great time of History, and a singular history, captivating, nostalgic ... Stephen King writes beautifully, and manages to surprise us until the last page. I hope reading this book will also be exhilarating for you as it was for me!
