Just started reading Insomnia, and in the first part Heavyset guy said he
had a OUI. Shouldn't it be DUI? Is this a typo?

Pretty much the same thing as DUI, or, in some places, DWI (driving while intoxicated). T<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: Insomnia Question

Grow up. If you knew it meant a conviction for breaking the law with regard to alchohol and driving, why ask redundant questions? King's books are directed at sad misfits with a literary capacity measured in nanobytes.

Tina, An expressed opinion has got to be positive, especially when applied to the kind of pulp fiction King churns out.You obviously have been taken in by the lazy, predictable stories he now (and always has) offered up. In music it's two verses, middle eight, one verse, finish. One can tire of the same fare if it's served up ad nausium, n'est pas? A grown Man.
