Stephen King does have a weird fixation on describing his female characters boobs though and it makes me uncomfortable every time.

There are still aspects of King's writing that are still sexist, racist, and ableist, so I can't give it the 5 stars it might have had without these inclusions. Compared to The Shining, this book does better in a lot of ways since I couldn't stop reading this 500+pg book.
