I also love how a lot of the words from this story were used straight into the movie word by word CLASSIC. I was very interested to know some characters in this story were in fact blended into one character in the movie and the death of Tommy never happened was a major shock to me. This short story gives so much more info to what we see in the movie and its little details that I wish was used in the movie but I understand the time frame and trying to fit everything is not always easy. Steven Kings classic story that Inspired a cult movie, that has become the number one movie of all time. THIS IS MY FIRST EVER LISTENING TO AN AUDIOBOOK I believe it's a good choice. JUST AS GOOD AS THE CULT MOVIE (Maybe even better)
