This is the longest book I have ever read! I'm really glad I finally read it. A fantastic, epic, end of the world adventure, but it is not my favorite Stephen King book! I don't want to leave any spoilers for future readers, so I won't comment too much. I do wish to express my disappointment, however, with never learning what the significance of the initials R.F. was after all. Those who have already read this enormous book should know of whose initials I am referring. Also, I found the apocalyptic, good vs. evil story line a bit overdone, too dramatic. Overall, this was a very good book, laws, yes. I highly recommend it!
