This book was great. It is a companion novel to 'Folly' including many of the characters of Sanctuary Island. The main character is Allen, Viet Nam vet and saver of the abused. The book is well written and very griping. If you loved Folly you will love this. But 'Folly' does not need to be read before this novel.
I just finished this book. I found it to be really good---totally unlike many of King's other books, but excellent! It certainly brought back my memories of Viet Nam as I was in the Navy at that time.
A companion book to this authors "Folly" - I loved them both.
