I really enjoyed reading this book. King's character development, espcially through dialog, shines here.
It's a page turner for 1,000 pages - which is impressive.
Beware - it's a heavy book! :-)

Not a plot spoiler below, but wanted to make sure folks opted in to see it by choice.

book is a great read but the ending was a let down for me after 1,000 pages. I'd give it a 4 to 4.5 for the first 900 pages and a 3 for the last 100.

This is about how messed up things can get. Think lord of the flies. Extremely well done but there's a lot of trigger warnings in this book,

This book is so gripping. Not for the faint of heart, but such a thrilling read. Intense inter-personal strife and characters that feel incredibly real.
