You'll lose a lot of sleep.

Ralph does. At first he starts waking up earlier. And earlier. then the hallucinations start - the colours, shapes and strange auras. Not to mention the bald doctors who always turn up at the scene of a death.

That's when Ralph begins to lose a lot more than sleep. When he begins to understand why his hitherto mild-mannered friend, Ed, is getting out of control - dangerously so. And why his home town is about to become the new Armageddon.

An evil of unimaginable proportions has found a way in and Ralph has only one chance to beat it. The stakes are high - they always are when you're playing for human souls. With a Joker in the pack...a bald one with a rusty scalpel. (back cover)

King continues to amaze and entertain

5 stars

While Insomnia is a bit different than early works by King, it is written in his unique and expansive storytelling style. The book starts out with some mundane people with slowly growing insomnia, and evolves into people who can see and eventually affect reality in unique ways. The book also bridges into a bigger storyline that you will find in other early King works. I loved the tale and the way he depicted the characters and their interactions with this supernatural world they have found.a
