Absolute Amazing

Rating: 9/10 (20 April 2005)

This is, of course, my favourite Stephen King book. It's not just some stupid gory horror movie. The amount of depth this book and movie have are amazing. Stephen King wrote this as an amazing book and the movie too is done very well. I was worried at first because I was afraid they didn't have actors that suited the roles of some of the characters because their portrayal is so difficult to do in real life.
There were a few things I found that were lost to the movie because you couldn't say them in a movie. In a book you can go more in depth with the feelings and emotions of the characters.
First--The kissing on Paul's face, his wife used to kiss him there and it always "tingled" and then later on Elaine does that.
Second--There was no movie that linked him back to the past in the book, and it seemed telling the story to Elaine in the book was over a period of time not just in one day.
But even with the few differences it was still amazing because you can never ask for a movie EXACTLY like a book. It usually won't work.
