The baby scene in the book is far far worse, freaked me out.... And the toilet scene in the book actually made me feel physically sick, it's not often a book gets a physical reaction. The film is not nearly as brutal as the book....

I hated Desperation, as horror books go it was ok, but Stephen King is capable of so much better....

Aw thank you :) :) And being a call centre monkey is not a great job, but someone's gotta do it....what would happen if I wasn't here to put people on hold and ruin their day?! The world might grind to a halt :p

Aw, see, aren't you lovely?! Rest my case..... :)
