I love Stephen King’s character work. There’s not much plot to this book and not even much character development, but just getting to know them and hanging out with them is enjoyable. I wish the Chico story wasn’t in there. It was unnecessary spice. Other than that it’s a very charming story. I think the King’s creative prose puts it a little above the movie.

The movie has been a favorite of mine for years. The story is pretty much the same but I found the book to be incredibly reflective which added even more depth to the story. A sad and charming story.

the misogyny is there but is clearly stated to be bad in the next chapter. there are multiple ableist, racist, and homophobic slurs in this book.
