Hm, yes, I see what you mean about Cathy/Kate being a very Stephen King character, written by another author.

I actually read the novel first and hence must have been the only viewer dissappointed by the James Dean version. I kept thinking "but where's Lee?", "Where are the linguistic/philosophical discussions of timschal" and "Adam isn't like that!" and "Why did they cut out the entire Cathy, Charles and Adam backstory and just leaave the stuff with the kids", and "but THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN THAT WAY AT ALL". And so forth.
