Great little book! I know that there must have been some who objected to the ending of this, but I loved it. I also loved the way that SK made the small Maine island community come to life.

It's a great book. Leaves you scratching your head and wanting another chapter or three.....Great little book! I know that there must have been some who objected to the ending of this, but I loved it. I also loved the way that SK made the small Maine island community come to life.
I loved the book, until the ending. After finishing I was very angry with Mr. King.Great little book! I know that there must have been some who objected to the ending of this, but I loved it. I also loved the way that SK made the small Maine island community come to life.

It is one of the few King books that I have read just once.
Exactly. I was expecting this big revelation, and got nuffin'!You wanted the mystery solved I guess........
Would reading The Colorado Kid ruin Haven?
Nope. It didn't for me, at least.I've avoided reading it because I love Haven. I want to read it now because I figure Haven has taken the storyline way past the original story. What do y'all think? Would reading The Colorado Kid ruin Haven?
I read this over the last two days BECAUSE of Haven. I bought a Kindle so I could read this book and not pay $30 for a used copy. (I know that sounds stupid) Anyway, I am an avid Haven fan and the words ""based on the book "The Colorado Kid" by Stephen King" at the beginning of the show made me read it. The Afterward in the book actually really had me thinking...Is Haven beyond the book? Answer: Absolutely! The question however is, What is MYSTERY? Freaking Priceless!!I've avoided reading it because I love Haven. I want to read it now because I figure Haven has taken the storyline way past the original story. What do y'all think?

Welcome to the site, I've never seen Haven, but did enjoy Colorado Kid... good to have you here with us.I read this over the last two days BECAUSE of Haven.

I'd never heard of the Dyatlov Passage and looked it up-fascinating mystery!We don't always get answers in real life too. Think about Bermuda Triagle, the Dyatlov Passage, and so many other dark stories that we will probably never find out what happened. The Colorado Kid is this. A book about the essence of the mystery. If you read it expecting a resolution, you'll fail to like it. I don't think it's a bad book, because it's a very sincere one. It never lies to the reader saying that we will get to know the answers.
