I love Stephen King but fell out of reading his stuff for a while. That said, I was immediately intrigued by this book when I read the jacket back in December. It's generally a good story, but typical SK, takes a bit to get rolling and for-freaking-ever to wrap up. He is, as always, exceptionally detailed.

Like I said though, I liked this story. Once it got going, it moved pretty well and the concept of a world without women is definitely an interesting one to ponder.

My biggest complaint is the number of characters. There are SO many and he's introducing new ones right up until the final chapters. It was a bit much to keep track of them all. I felt some were thrown in just to become casualties he could easily wipe out toward the end.

And for someone who is so detailed, he kind of glossed right through a critical group decision toward the end. That said, I think most tried-and-true SK fans will like this book. It plays off themes he's explored in the past but with a new twist.
