So, from past reviews, it may seem that I think Stephen King can do no wrong (the lit majors among you are probaby shuddering in horror, no pun intended). I love most of his books (cf. Cell) and actually think he is a very good writer - his character development is fab, and his stories are compelling, exciting, and usually have some actual symbolism (though some may be a bit too gruesome for the average bear). This is one of his best. If you decide to embark on this journey, make sure to pick up the unabridged version - I have read both, and it's best to absorb it all at once. This is an apocalyptic story of good and evil - survivors struggling to make it. Highly recommended.

Jennifer leant this book to me. This is a wonderful memoir from a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist who grew up in poverty in Alabama in the 50's & 60's. It is a tale of how God-given talent and a fierce human spirit can triumph over circumstances and against the odds. And it's a love letter to good mamma's everywhere.
