I loved it. Terrific novel. the end goes on a but too long, but overall, like you aid, it's those characters and their stories. It also brought back the fear I had in the mid-eighties as a kid about Nuclear power and nuclear plants. Here in Maine, Maine Yankee, the nuclear plant in Wiscasset (now defunct) was a hot topic on the news on a daily basis. So many fears with what happened in Pripyat and at Three Mile Island. Reading King's pieces about Gard's fears and fight against nuclear power... it brought all of my old fears back to life. A lot of people talk about it being King's sci-fi piece (it is) or about it being about King's battle with addiction (I'm sure), but I relate most to the nuclear fears. That's the scariest organ The Tommyknockers. Fantastic stuff.<br /><br />Keep up the great work, Jonathan!grolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00732601509707184693noreply@blogger.com
