I did however enjoy Ben's introduction in the book MUCH better than in the (original) movie. The concern expressed from the bartender really adds to the fear you're supposed to feel for this character and realize just how horrified he is to go home again. Not like in the movie where he was drunk with some broad who got turned on by hearing about his little boy fat rolls.
LOL! Stephen King has always been to descriptive. Its a fault. It would be the reason my oldest son gave up on The Gunslinger two chapters in. He was like "When is something going to happen, I've already heard too much about the desert." You just gotta allow it to really build an image in your head and enjoy it. His level of description is the reason he almost never get a good film adaptation. Its hard to adapt something that the King has already built such a vivid image of in peoples minds.
