A solid ending to the trilogy that finally treaded back into the known realm of Stephen King with more of the familiar psychological terror he regularly unfolds. This would be a fine stand alone book but without the deeper knowledge of the 2 previous books, the depth of connection to the characters and their inner torment with one another would not quite carry the same weight. With this one, the Hodges trilogy is all tied up rather neatly and the only question left is.........which King book to read next.
