    Just Finished

    "Life's a wheel, and it always comes back around." The last 200 pagers of this story were fantastic. First, Abra's character really comes alive. She displayed humanistic qualities that made her real. Honestly, she impressed me. This story really spoke to me. Until Dr. Sleep, I'd never...

    "The only way to go on is to go on. To say, I can do this even when you know you can't" This story spoke to me. Edgar spoke to me. From beginning to end, and even in the middle when life on The Key became mundane. Edgar tells this tale. Although Mr. King wrote this tale, it is Edgar telling...
