The only King book (so far) to actually creep me out! Taking 3/4 a star off due to... that one scene. If you know, you know.

The author could have taken some things out to make the book shorter. Some things were random.

Sure it had good moments and great quotes but it just genuinely wasn’t worth it. It was SO LONG and I feel like I got nothing out of it. I was just kinda reading it to get it over with not because I actually enjoyed it and I kept thinking it would get better but it didn’t. Also Stephen King is so weird and I hate him what is wrong with him. Also I just kept thinking “what was this guy on when writing this, he needs a new editor.” He must’ve been on so many drugs while writing this and it did not help him

I enjoyed this book. I love anything horror, especially if it is King. The writing in this book was wonderful, and the overall vibes were some of my favourite. I did have to take breaks from this book, especially because of the nature of some of the scenes, but other than it, it is a wonderful story.
