Stephen King admits this is one of his "trunk" books, which I guess are manuscripts he's written in the past that weren't good enough to publish until he was famous enough to sell anything he puts out. That being said, if you're a King fan, don't expect too much.

The story is about a semi-retarded fellow who tries to pull off a kidnapping. It is more of a character story than plot driven (few events, lots of reminiscing). It's not really that bad, but if it's not really that good either, it should at least by fun and/or satisfying to read. It's kind of a throw-away, but if you've got nothing else to read, it won't do any permanent damage.
