I liked the book a lot. Read it twice. It's my favorite King novel. FIFTY TIMES!?!?!? That's utterly amazing. You should get an award or something.
I liked how the novel tied the living dead with the Wendigo legend, and implied that the zombies were flesh-eaters of the Romero vein.
I also liked how the novel was about DEATH. All kinds of death. From the freaky intro about who'd written books and who hadn't all the way to Mamma Creed's experience with her dying sister. Unsettling. All horror, in my humble opinion, is about humanity's fear of death. That's something modern horror filmmakers often forget--they tend to think horror is one-liners and special effects.
