The story seemed to drag out for way too long. I am a 10-year Stephen King fan and an avid reader of all that he writes and I wasn't impressed at all with this book. The story is very difficult to get in to.

I love SK, but this one should be called "The Cure for Insomnia"

This was one of my first Stephen King books, and I absolutely loved it! I was actually quite surprised at how fast I was thrown into the book as I was propelled through the pages. Very interesting outcome that I had not guessed on my own!

Difficult to get into, but once you're into the book you're hooked.

I've never read this in its entirety---just couldn't get into it; love S King, too.

This is one of Stephen King's better books, in my opinion. While 'IT' was all set in the realm of childhood, 'Insomnia' is set in the realm of old age. I've read this book many times, and am now passing along for someone else to enjoy. Give it a try.

Great page-turner and surreal scenes. Ralph Roberts has insomnia. As it gets worse, he's seeing horrible things happening to people in his town. They are turning into demonic monsters. It's like he's dreaming, but he's wide awake! Is he going crazy or are these things really happening?

Ralph Roberts used to be an ordinary guy--until insomnia robbed him of sleep. Now he's no longer ordinary--he can see horrible things happening to the people of Derry, Maine. He can see how, one by one, they are turning into monsters straight from hell.
He'd like to call them nightmares, but he's wide-awake. He can't call himself crazy, because there is another person who sees these happenings, too. But even if seeing is believing, it still doesn't give him a clue of how to stop these deadly, demonic visions from coming true...
