Review: it's a trick

Once again Stephen King shows how great a writer he is. I loved this short-novella length story (although the price was a bit high for the length). It is an engaging story, with vivid characterizations of normal people that you can't help caring about even if you know what is going to happen to them, pertinent references to current culture and catchy phrases. The Doctor Who discussion really caught my attention. I'd give 4.5 out 5 stars. I'm taking off .5 because the price is high for that length.Of course, it is obvious this was a trick. Price is a little more than what you'd normally pay so your on the slippery slope to buy the next novel in November (that is outrageously high priced). Plus the vivid characterization and flawless prose remind you of just how good a writer he is...here's hoping Walmart will sale it at a big enough loss to change my mind of buying any version priced this way.
