This was my first Stephen King novel (although I have seen some other movie adaptations) and… wow. Very well written. As hard as is it to listen to in some parts, it is definitely worth the read (or listen) and did not disappoint. I’d highly recommend this book to anyone who likes the horror genre.

I didn't know what to expect picking up this book, but it was fast-paced and very well-written, which I appreciated. I was optimistic at the start that I could avoid King's famous horror/gore sequences, and while the horror was not an issue there were definitely a few scenes which I had to skim over. I still highly enjoyed it overall though, despite the pressure of trying to finish it before the new year.
