I think the first part of the mini-series, up until the whole 'good' party
reaches the Free Zone, is better than the book itself. The rest of the
mini-series is not that good, though. What really disappointed me with the
novel (and the mini-series) was the lousy ending. Suddenly the hand of God
comes down and destroys Las Vegas; ridiculous. :( King could have thought out
something more King-ish, IMHO.

I kind of liked the mini-series but the novel was _way_ better.

Really? I think every novel that takes place in Castle Rock, and there are
many :), is great and have characters I care about. I think Gerald's Game is
the worst of the King books.
