Although this book about an overweight lawyer cursed by a gypsy to continually lose weight could easily slide into racist territory, it does not. In fact, it is the lawyer, Billy Halleck, who is most criticized throughout the story. He is the one depicted in a negative light. His self-centeredness at the expense of all others is truly is downfall. More of a thriller than a horror, there are still grotesque moments we've all come to expect and love from Stephen King. The thrills build at the perfect pace to an unexpected conclusion. Recommended to fans of horror and trhillers alike, but more so to fans of thrillers.
