However, from this and other reviews, it sounds like I have nothing to fear. Hurray! There's nothing like going into winter with a new Stephen King book that will invite many readings before the snow finally melts for good.

Don’t remember much about it — read it in my early teens, about 15 years ago!

It isn't even a horror novel, nothing even remotely frightening about it in fact. You found Eyes of the Dragon chilling?

It's good value. Any reader of Fantasy novels regularly reads 750 - 850 pages ... and then book 2 and book 3 of the series which will also be of similar length. I LOVE Stephen King ... not so much the classic horror stuff (however I do enjoy those too) but his other works. Yes, he's mainstream, but he's a frickin genius. The Dark Tower, The Green Mile, Shawshank Redemption ... need I say more? 1088 pages is NOT long. It’s good value.
