I have read and re-read that book about a dozen times. Lots of little things you miss that are discovered each time through.

The movie/mini series sucked.

Nah - that was one of the most vivid images of that book, and stuck with me.

The one thing King wrote about that he didn't know jack s*** about (nor bothered researching) was the military/political/disease control side. He still could have gotten to where he was, but should rewrite all those parts for a proper 21st century version.
