Wouldn't have finished if it was longer. Felt like this was a diary of a "Good Guy TM" and if you took a shot everytime the author wrote "as they say" you'd have alcohol poisoning within 10 pages, maybe less.

I can't decide if I like this book or not. I didn't think the depiction of Sally was true to her movie counterpart - I found her obsessive in a way that either I didn't catch in the movie or wasn't true to character. 

It's an interesting idea and I enjoyed the small looks into other towns, but I think I feel like it was a miss. Still, I kept reading. Not bad, just not the itch I hoped it would scratch.
