Still good forty years later, it moves along nicely. As with almost all of King's books, the good guys are all relatable characters, believable dialogue and also believable situations. You can easily go along with the story without thinking "nah that wouldn't happen". It used to be harder for me to believe in Stillson, but as I write this in 2019 I've changed my mind. I liked the interrupted love story with Sarah, how Johnny comes to terms with his choice, and I liked that it wasn't a standard happy ending.
