" Not the best by Stephen King, but I don't think it was so bad. There were really good ideas in this book, but unfortunately the final was a crap. "

" The first Stephen King book I ever read. Hooked me on Stephen King for a while after that! "

" Fat people are evil. Skinny people are sexy. These are scientific facts. This book tries to oppose those facts and I'm not standing for it! "

" Gypsies don't work like that. If you can put a curse on someone making them skinnier and skinnier why the hell can't you fix your dang nose? "

" Stephen King is hit or miss in my opinion. it's no "Carrie". This book is the equivalent to watching those predictable horror movies. It's a guilty pleasure. It serves its purpose, tames the beast. Isn't that what King is for? "

" Meh, good story line and there was a 30 page segment which was really captivating, but didn't live up to the buildup. "

" Very interesting with a crazy twist at the end. There is a very good lesson that goes along with this book, and it is an easy read. I really enjoyed it. "

" This is one of my favorite Stephen King's books. I read many of his books, but this one is the best. Be careful not to mess with the Gypsies. While traveling in Prague, I told some of the Czechs about this book. There is a lot of discrimantion against Gypsies in Europe. "

" The story was ok but not really that interesting. The ending had a nice twist though. Recommend checking this one out at the library and reading it once. "

" Almost like an elongated short story or novella that had such a good set-up and punch that it warranted the extra hundred pages, ultimately this creepy tale of revenge and justice is a solid read. Probably falls closer to 3.5 stars, but I give it the bump since it was a childhood favorite... "

" Well, my thoughts about this book are ambiguous. I liked the story and how he cooped with his problem, but in my opinion the ending was a bit farfetched, with the cake and all. "

" I read this a long time ago... It's about pie, right? "
- Vanessa, 6/22/2013

" I hated this book it was so looooooooong and sooooooooooo boring... I would not reccomend anyone to read this because it will bore you to death! :DDD "

" I couldn't believe the disgusting consequences for everyone who was involved in an accidental murder "

" King comes up with some interesting ideas to start stories, but runs out of gas long before the finish. "

" not as good as i was told "

" As much as I'm a King junkie it is hard to admit that this is one of the crappier King-books. "

" Pretty creepy tale of a gypsy's curse. "
- Jen, 10/24/2012

" Good but, not one of my favorites. "
- Sean, 10/19/2012

" I read this wishing I had this curse. Then as the book progressed, I took back that wish. Creepy. "
- Rebekah, 8/14/2012
-
" Very interesting story with likable characters... although at times, I found myself rooting for the "bad guys." "
- Kelli, 6/1/2012

" I read this before I knew it was written by Stephen King. My version still says Richard Bachman, but his writing style is undeniable. Typical S.K. "

" Read this book during a week of after school detentions in junior high. I remember getting a feeling of hope from this book, mainly Billy Halek is fat and seemed to be getting plenty of action. I had no such luck, had to loose the weight. "

" Richard Bachman is really Stephen King???!!! I remember being blown away when I found this out, but I don't really know why. I guess I just thought it was cool, that an author would have a psuedonym. How mysterious! "

" I absolutely loved this book. I followed up and watched the TV movie series on SyFy.

" I read this for the first time when I was 10. It's on my shelf to read at least once a year, I love it that much.
"
- Amber, 5/20/2011

" Not as instantly readable as some of King's other books, but well worth the time to stick to it. Unfortunately, the made for tv movie ruined some of this book for me, so perhaps that's why it took me so long to finish.
"
- Christina, 5/20/2011

" I have read this book several times. I love the characters.
"
- Anna, 5/19/2011

" The first half of the book is revetting; however, the ending is a real disappointment. There is a great build up for nothing. I actually expected more.
"
- David, 5/19/2011

" I think this is the only Stephen King book that I have ever truly enjoyed. I do like a bit of Science Fiction!!

" This was the first Stephen King I read. Loved it.

- Laura, 5/17/2011

" Great book, except the very end. This is something that Stephen King does quite a bit, unfortunately. He tells a great story and uses a contrivance to finish it. It doesn't mean I stop reading; it's just a bit jarring.

" King absolutely knows how to tell a story. I love the allegorical nature of the book, pitting good against evil. I'm not a person that loves post-apocalyptic stories, but King makes me want to love this genre. One of the best reads I've had in years.
"
- Skip, 5/16/2011

" This was the first Steven King book I ever read. I couldn't put it down. I read the entire book in a day.
