I, too, am reading King's The Shining, which so far is great. Seems like a good time of year for this story. I loved It, but this feels much less epic in scope, more psychological, more claustrophobic.
Also of note: I'm reading this on an ipad. The waiting list for this book at the library was too long (witching season would be long past), so I spent the $4 to buy it from the ibookstore. First time I've read a book of this length entirely on a tablet screen. Pretty good experience, actually! I thought I'd have more complaints, but I don't. Maybe this is a new era of me starting to go deep into electronic books.
