Not the best or worst King I’ve read. A good place for someone to dip in who wants very mild horror and a shorter book of his.

This was a really good Sci-Fi book.

This one was another solid Stephen King read. It was one of his shorter ones, which definitely worked to his advantage. The lengths of his books are usually my biggest critique of his books because they go on for so long that I start getting bored and losing interest. I will say that the beginning started off strong, then halfway through, something happened and I wasn't as interested, but I wasn't bored. The end did pick up a lot, and I ended up really enjoying this one. I loved the relationship with Andy and Charlie. I'm a sucker for books that feature a good father and daughter relationship. I really liked their characters and was rooting for them. This also gave me The Institute vibes with a little of Carrie thrown in, two other Stephen King books that I really liked. I was weary of picking this one up, thinking I wasn't going to like it, but I'm so glad I did.
