Couldn't be here last night but I read the story yesterday. I have read it several times, and each time I like it better. I did not like it at all the first time I read it.
Maybe an age thing? I went back after finishing the story and read the intro. (Usually the first thing I read, but I was reading while the littles were napping, so wanted to get the story done.) That made me stop and think about the age of the book, because SK says he had believed a lot of things in his 45 years. Whoa, he was only a little older than I am right now when this came out....I was 19 when this book came out. Where does the time go??
But I enjoyed revisiting the story. I do think it is a ghost story in a way. He has all this drive for revenge, it takes an immense amount of patience and planning and then work at breakneck pace. And poof! Elizabeth quits speaking to him when it is done.
I know it is never spelled out exactly but in my head, Dolan is a mob guy.
I didn't even know there was a movie of this! I checked and it will be on tomorrow, going to record it and watch.
Interesting about radio station call letters! That was a little factoid I did not know!
