Twelve-year-old Jack Sawyer embarks on an epic quest--a walk from the seacoast of New Hampshire to the California coast--to find the talisman that will save his dying mother's life. Jack's journey takes him into the Territories, a parallel medieval universe, where most people from his own universe have analogs called "twinners." The queen of the Territories, Jack's mother's twinner, is also dying.

Over the last couple of years I've been reading King novels that I originally read when I was a kid. I had really fond memories of The Talisman but it did not hold up. It's long, and while there are parts that are great, it's a relic of the 80s and the age really shows.
