Insomnia by Stephen King
3.0

I've never read a Stephen King book that I didn't enjoy, and this is no exception. It's not his best, though, and I'm not entirely sure that I'm fond of the Dark Tower creep. I understand the desire to link work together, but this isn't the first time I've seen it barge in where perhaps it doesn't belong - although, I think it's handled better here than it was in "Needful Things".

I gobbled the book down in a day, so obviously the gigantic thing held my attention, but I think it may lack the cohesion of some of King's better work. It seems a little scattered?

Derry, however, will never not creep me out. It's been 20+ years for me and I still can't get over that damn clown.
