Bill Welsh said One of Many Great Ones. This is the greatest Stephen King book since the last one. I am amused by those who can pick his "greatest book".The Stand, It, Duma Key, The Green MileI could go on and on. They're all superlative. I can think of TWO of his books (out of what? 80?) that I didn't really enjoy."The Tommyknockers" and "Gerald's Game. that's IT. But this book made me feel good in a lot of ways, and I just loved it.Retired Dean of Assessment and ResearchEducated WAY beyond his intelligence.. Holy crap!

Then Dan meets the evanescent Abra Stone, and it is her spectacular gift, the brightest shining ever seen, that reignites Dan's own demons and summons him to a battle for Abra's soul and survival. This is an epic war between good and evil, a gory, glorious story that will thrill the millions of hyper-devoted fans of The Shining and wildly satisfy anyone new to the territory of this icon in the King canon.. But as Dan Torrance knows, and spunky 12-year-old Abra Stone learns, The True Knot are quasi-immortal, living off the "steam" that children with the "shining" produce when they are slowly tortured to death. On highways across America, a tribe of people called The True Knot travel in search of sust
