I just finished Doctor Sleep. I liked it very much. But I just wanted to say that my favorites were the Stand (which I read way back when it was first published) and Under the Dome). They are both in my opinion psychological studies of people under stress -- what comes out in these situations. Not the horror of the unearthly but real people. I did not think much of the movie Under the Dome however. My next favorite was 11/22/63. Great plot line! I have often thought about what would happen if JFK had not been killed. I was 19 on that day and so many hopes seemed to be dashed. But I also had thought that maybe things would be worse if he had finished his term. Anyhow, Mr. King, keep writing!

Welcome janq

I agree - Under the Dome was much better as a book, but Stephen King will be writing the first episode of Season Two which comes on TV at the end of June, plus he will do a cameo, so perhaps the TV show will get better!
