So far it is. If you have ever read King's books you know he throws a lot of detail at his readers. In this one, the idea conceived in 1971 I believe, he took a lot of time to research the late 50's and 60's.
I am just 118 pages into this novel which is about 1050 in length (I am afraid to check what the actual last page is for fear of spoiling the story). I used to be able to read over 100 pages a day when I worked as a Rent-A-Cop years ago. I could devour Louis L'Amour books in day or two.

Does that mean your reading vest has a Dewey Decimal patch?

I can't learn by reading. I can learn from a story, but cannot read a book and learn something in a class assignment type read. I could read WHILE doing something, I need that hands on interaction to learn. That's how I got all my computer learning....building the PC from parts and installing software as it was needed.
