It is really good. But it's also _really_ similar to the short story
(actually, I think this one's referred to as a "novella"). Like even down to
having the exact same last lines, and a lot of the same dialog. They did
manage to make an Irish guy black, though...

Good book. B-movie at best. Just finished King's latest, _Bag of Bones_ last
night. Really pretty good. Sad, though. Really melancholy book. <Lloyd
