I read this wonderfully frightening and ultimately hopeful book when it was first published. A life-long avid reader of everything and a bit precocious, I had read short news items about both the U.S., and at the time the U.S.S.R., we're developing strains of deadly germs to be released during battle. King's book is in the top 10 of the tens of thousands of books I have read in the past 55 years. It vividly brought home an horrific view of the total devastation and terror that germ and nuclear war can unleash. Since that time, I have worked against their use by supporting, working for, and always voting for candidates totally opposed to germ and nuclear warfare.

Stephen King's second published book it is just as good - no - even better then the first! It stretches the depth of his ability to control horror far past "Carrie" but does not depleat "Carrie's" horrific charm in any way. If you haven't read it, you should. Stephen King is the reigning master of horror and this is the second literary gift of horror he released to the world.
