Like many of the other reviewers here I have to say I was VERY disappointed with this film adaptation. This book is in my top 5 of favorite novels that Stephen King has written so I was excited when I saw that they were doing a movie based on the book. WOW was I ever wrong to be excited....not only was the movie so chopped up and unrecognizable from the book I Loved (I've read it about 4 times and listened to it on audio even more than that) but the casting was absolutely HORRIBLE!!! Mike Noonan is only supposed to be 40 when he decides to return to Sara Laughs after being away for 4 years since his wife died of a brain aneurysm (not being hit by a bus!!!) I don't think that Pierce Brosnan has seen the right side of 40 in a NUMBER of years!! Oh, and Kyra is only 3 years old and therefore is more likely to be seen walking down the center of the road...not the 7 or 8 year old we all saw in the movie. When I read the book I really felt invested in the characters and even cried a time or two, while watching the movie I just cried because the move was so BAD!!! I just really have to wonder if Mick Garris or anyone else actually read this book at all? I am also curious of what Stephen King thought of the movie because he has said that this is one book that he really Loved...So sorry it got botched...
