What starts as just another crime story slowly develops into a truly horrific trip à la Kings Best that wonderfully comes together in the end.

Was on the edge of my seat until the third act. The first two acts are gripping and impossible to put down.

i had fun with this book, but didn’t find it to be anything incredible. the only other king i’ve read is the girl who loved tom gordon, and i thought that was far superior. this had some eerie descriptions, but nothing ever truly scared me or got under my skin like i hoped it would when i started this book. i enjoyed the characters and core ideas, but feel this had too much going on for its own good; it was somewhat convoluted and hard to follow at times. it was a fairly easy read and i enjoyed the experience, but i can’t say i’d confidently recommend it.
