Since his wife died, Ralph Roberts has been having trouble sleeping. Each night he awakens a little earlier until he's barely sleeping at all. During his late night vigils and walks, he observes some strange things going on in Derry, Maine. He sees colored ribbons streaming from people's heads. He witnesses two strange little men wandering the city under cover of night. He begins to suspect that these visions are something more than hallucinations brought about by sleep deprivation. Ralph and his friend, widow Lois Chasse, become enmeshed in events of cosmic significance.

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
