it has been a long time
since i have read a stephen king book.

i used to read him all the time
re-reading favorites,
excited when a new one came out
to add to my collection.

which is weird because
i don't do
horror...or scary...or evil clowns and creepy hotels,
crimson kings and serial killers...

but i was always drawn in
by the way he could do
conversation...
and his turn of phrase...
it's just comes across so natural and real.

i did enjoy this book although
it took me a long time to read it.
it involves time travel and assignations
love and love thwarted...
it was well worth the time it took me to finish it.

i was really excited to see the mini-series come out
but after the first episode
i was so totally stressed out by how many things
they either changed
or no longer seemed to exist
that i just couldn't watch anymore.

i may try it again sometime...
when the book is not quite so fresh in my mind.
