"Entertainment Weekly"Plenty of thrills...[King's] an elegant
writer and a master of pacing.
"New York Daily News"A fast, scary read...King blasts a
homer...[He] expertly stirs the major ingredients of the American
psyche -- our spirituality, fierce love of children, passion for
baseball, and collective fear of the bad thing we know lurks on the
periphery of life.
"People"An absorbing tale..."Tom Gordon" scores big.
"San Francisco Examiner"A gem....Superb.
"St. Louis Post-Dispatch"King paints a masterful, terrifying
picture of every child's (and maybe adult's) worst fear...King uses
that creepy-crawly paranoia to perfection.
"The New York Times"Frightening....Feverish terror.
"USA Today"A delightful read, a literary walk in the woods, and not
just for baseball fans.
"The Wall Street Journal"Impressive...A wonderful story of courage,
faith, and hope. It is eminently engaging and difficult to put
down.
