I finished the book a few days ago in of all places while waiting in line for Star Tours at Disneyland. Finished the afterward while waiting in line for Space Mountain. This is definitely one of my favorite King books. I had stopped reading his books around the time of Tommyknockers, but had pretty much read everything else by him up to that point.
It was the premise of course that intrigued me, but soon, like the main character I became deeply involved in the town of Jodie, fell in love with Sadie and the cast of characters in his small town. Funny thing I kept doing while reading this was churning in my head what would be the final end that the book arrives at, or how it was all going to tie in together. I kept looking for foreshadowing and would get thrown off by King though, good job of using coincidences purposely.
If you are not a horror fan, it's still easy to get involved in this book as it can't be classified as horror, except for the more real world horror abusive husband, for which there are at I would say 3 depicted in the novel.
