I liked this better the first time I read it, waaay back when. Andy is the most memorable character in the book, desperate to keep Charlie alive but also desperately afraid of what he might have to do to her in order to make it happen. The Evil Government guys are just cliches without King's usual ability to make them into real people; even Rainbird is mostly just cardboard.
