The different approach of this story is that there is no real main person to follow the story by, the story is told by the town in which it all takes place. So we get intimate with different people. Some more likeable than others... I do hope that if something like this would happen, it would be less dramatic than how it turned out here, but it is realistic. The end was a bit of a let down to me, King has a few go to solutions to wrap up his books and he uses those in this one as well. And maybe it's just me, but I wouldn't mind a bad ending once in a while. Not that say that this one was all good, but when it turned for the worst, that bit of silver lining just bugged me.
