It's one of the books that stepped into public consciousness – it had a film made with Drew Barrymore in, for goodness' sake – and people rattle it off as a classic. And why wouldn't they? It's early King, when (collective wisdom has it) he was still writing exciting, original novels, playing in the ballparks of horror-SF that his diehard early readers love. A few weeks ago, in the thread for The Long Walk reread, commenters began listing their top 10 favourite King books. The problem with something as subjective as literature is that your average reader is, sooner or later, going to disagree with majority opinion and I knew that when it happened during this reread, I would have to write about it honestly.
