I love how King describe all the process of Jack going crazy and that this book is not only about murdering, killing, dyong etc. but what is more important about inner state  of characters and I love it because I don't find it in many horrors.

I would like to know what happen to Dick's jaw after all

This is a good book, it is pretty slow at the beginning and in some of the middle, but the ending is worth the wait
