    Hi, I'm new to the forum, & I noticed that 3 of your top 10s are by my favorite author, S. King. Anyway, I wanted to ask you a few question about Rose Matter. I purchased the audiobook version of it a white back, but ice purchase the entire collection of King's novels, and I'm down to7 or 8 titles that I've yet to listen to. Audible doesn't really have a good description, nor any helpful reviews.

    I guess what I'd like to ask is if you could please pretend that your buddy asked you to tell him about Rose Madder. You've just finished reading it, & you really want to make sure that you tell him enough about it to draw his interest, while being careful not to give away too much, thus giving away the ending.

    Then, just as you would tell your friend, tell me what you like the most about it, something you didn't like about it, and if or how it compares to some of his mother works. I know that I'm probably asking a lot, but these days, besides the Stephen King fandom page, which got very old very fast.

    It's getting harder to come by true Stephen King fan's these days. I'm talkin real King fan's, not these Fair-weathered fools, you know, the ones that only watch a few of his movies, then claim they've read all his novels, just to look cool? LOL Anyway, hope to hear back from you!
