Stephen King is one of the few authors that can produce a story of this quality about such a truly disgusting subject as wife beating. He will escort you through being more than a little ashamed to be male (even if you have never beaten a female) and on through making your blood boil in anger at the subhuman husband. He will continue to escort you through the story to the point where you will want to stand up and cheer for the beaten wife. A gritty but entertaining read.
