On audiobook, this was 2 CDs! Compared with other King stories that run into the upper 30s, it's positively a one-sitting appetizer. I really enjoyed it; never knew about it until I was browsing the audio at the library.
If you liked the short story Word Processor of the Gods (I think was the title) in which the young man builds a word processor for his uncle, and the uncle finds that any sentence he writes on it becomes reality, you will like UR. A similar concept, but so much more. Without adding spoilers, I will say there is a definite Dark Tower connection.
Anyone remember Pop Merrill's obsession with Kevin's camera in The Sun Dog? How he knows he should stop, but is powerless to change his future? I had that same feeling of dread in this story.
You COULD miss this one, but it's a lot of fun , and as I recall the reader did a very good job.
