Commentary

From the moment I began reading about Jack Sawyer's world, I was enthralled and captivated; I barely put it down to sleep or eat or go to class. I have read the book over and over again and have passed it along to many friends and relatives. It is a marvelous adventure story, yet also a story of great friendship, great love and heroism, making it clear that the most impressive form of bravery is taking action in spite of your fears. Wolf is an exceptionally endearing character, we should have had more of Wolf and Speedy Parker, but I guess that is one reason I read it again and again, to spend more time with them and Jack and all the other amazing characters. I love a great adventure and fantasy story, and this is one of the best. Thank you, Stephen King and Peter Straub for my many many hours of pure pleasure reading your terrific tale.
