Runs to about 324 pages, so it's a book you'll want to pass on to a friend when you're done.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat it's about\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Talisman is a 1984 fantasy novel by American writers Stephen King and Peter Straub. The plot is not related to that of Walter Scott's 1825 novel of the same name, although there is one oblique reference to \"a Sir Walter Scott novel.\" The Talisman was nominated for the Locus and World Fantasy Awards in 1985. All in all, despite a few dated references to homosexuality, a slow start and a slightly damselly best friend, the Talisman was a truly epic journey. Many reviewers describe it as a kid's book for adults, a conclusion with which I wholeheartedly agree, indeed if you spent your childhood entranced by authors like C.
