Read it. Liked it a lot, but was frustrated with the movie version because they made small changes that were unnecessary.

Haven't read it. I used to really enjoy SK. Read all his early books. But since Tommyknockers, I haven't been able to read anymore. The books just seem too boring to read. I didn't like "Bag of Bones" or "Hearts of Atlantis" so I've avoided his recent stuff. 
I think "The Stand", "It", "The Dead Zone" and "Different Seasons" were 4 of the best books I've ever read, tho.

my 2 fav. King books were a pair. The Regulators and Desperation. He wrote one as Steven King and the other as... uh, whatever his Pen Name is. Both feature the same names of the characters, but they play completely different roles in each book. And what happens in both books is so freeking odd... The key is to read one right after the other. Great stuff, 2 thumbs up. 5 stars. all that.

that tends to happen in gnomes - probably need to take a supplement.
