Very cliché. Too long. So many unnecessary details. The ending was a bit of a twist but not satisfactory.

aesweole's review against another edition

dark tense

5.0

this book kept me on edge the whole time. i absolutely hated the villains, king did a good job making them the most annoying and awful people. it was like i was watching a drama tv show, a fucking emotional rollercoaster. something bad happens to main characters— shit! something good happens to them — phew😮‍💨 i know it’s how it’s supposed to be, but in a lot of cases i just don’t care enough to care about the characters. perhaps, it’s more of a me problem, still. this book is by far my favorite of king’s.

Heads up: this one has frequent and graphic sexual assault scenes involving women and police. Not a surprise in a King novel, but it was more than I expected going into it
