I read this recent novel by King a while back and was greatly impressed - one of the best things he's written in a while, I think. It's a series of inter-connected stories that revolve around the Vietnam war (although the war itself is depicted only in flashbacks). Mostly realistic, it has a few fantastic elements that also tie it in withthe Dark Tower series. Has anyone else read this? What did you think? How did the movie compare?
