Stephen King is hit or miss for me most days. I have never enjoyed any of his books that involve the process of writing, and although the protagonist in this one is not an author, her husband, who is a very central character even though he is dead by the time the story begins, is an author. These stories just never work for me. This character did not feel like a living breathing woman to me -- she felt like Stephen King talking to you. I just couldn't get into it. I finished it just because I needed something to read in the evenings. I do enjoy other Stephen King novels, most recently, "The Dome".
