Similarities[edit]

I'd say this book has a striking similarity to the famous short story It's a Good Life (made into an equally well-known episode of The Twilight Zone. Worth mentioning on the page? Does anyone know if King intended the reference to be apparent? -Elizabennet | talk 20:08, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Article Problems[edit]

Formatting is messed up and the plot summary is poor. I'll do some reformatting, but I'm not going to resummarized the plot.--76.28.72.87 (talk) 21:52, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What?[edit]

The plot summary is atrocious, rife with spelling and grammar errors, and major plot points are completely backwards (Tak can only infect Seth because of the psychic strength of his mind, not because his mind is weaker. That's why other people who get possessed have their heads explode - they can't handle Tak's enormous power.). If this isn't fixed in a few months I might come back and do it myself, but right now I'm too busy. TAK AH LAH! MI HIM EN TOW! - 69.249.29.133 (talk) 23:46, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well then, does anyone else agree with this user that the section could use a rewrite? P0PP4B34R732 (talk) 23:59, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree 100%. The author of the plot summary has it backwards. As the above person said, it is because of the strength of Seth's mind that Tak is able to enter it, not because it is weak. On the other hand, the average person's mind is too weak to contain Tak, as we see when he enters Cammie's mind near the end. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TedStriker5150 (talk • contribs) 16:41, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Grammar problem[edit]

"The adults and children scatter and break into two groups: Johnny, the Reed family, the Josephsons, and David Carver’s widow and children." That's four groups. Which two groups are meant? Equinox ◑ 10:50, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
