Having read many of King's novels I chose this book simply because he had written it.
I thought it was an excellent and riveting read and more importantly ,it revolved around a concept that I hadn't read about before.
Unfortunately, when reading books of this genre you are often confronted with something you've seen before. Not for me with this one!
I loved it, the whole idea that there could be something sinster and macabre lurking behind a medical condition had me really spooked for a while. I was thinking..'what if?', whilst reading..ewwwwww...a chilling thought!

I really like the way you almost get to know his characters intimately too, listening to their thoughts, almost like you aretaken for a while into someone elses head.

So, after reading this book, I hope that I never have the misfortune to start hearing strange bird-like noises!

This book is a must-read for all King fans and a great first read for those unfamiliar with his books.
