Review: Great Beginning, Hurried End
Rating: 3 out of 5

I really got into the Kindle sample and decided to buy this short story.  It was a hot read until about two-third of the way through, then... well, it quickly oozed to an end.  For once I wish King had taken the time to make a story longer (I usually find him over-long).  This story has great potential, but that potential is never fully realized.  It's a fun read, but far from King's best.  I much prefer "The Girl who Loved Tom Gorden".If it had been written by anyone other than Stephen King I would have rated this at 4 stars - but he's done far better work than this.
