Yes. It's so perfect and succinct: everything needed is there, and nothing is there that's not needed. And it is the only King book I've ever felt that way about. Normally even the ones I love are kind of messy and flawed.
I don't know how Tom Gordon felt about the finished product but King got his permission before writing the book. I assume he gave him some sort of outline of how he (or rather, a kid fan's imaginary version of him) would appear in it.
I also avoided the book for ages because I thought it would require being into or having knowledge of baseball. Nope.
