It was okay. I think it's possible that I'm just not into him as an author. I liked Talisman, but wasn't wild about Shadowlands or Hellfire Club. I think I just don't like his prose, it feels tortured and scattered and unfocused. But, hey, I've been known to have bad taste. It is interesting that this predates Stephen King's It, and they both share a lot of ideas.
