Very PG in terms of graphic gore and violence for a Stephen King novel. Occurs halfway through the book.kaylabrotzman's review

I was hoping for an Eyes of the Dragon reference, since that’s one of my favorite books ever, but didn’t notice any.
I took a star off for some pacing issues and the fact that Charlie does NOT sound like a teenager from the present day.

<Spoiler>I would perhaps say that there weren't as many catastrophes as there should have been. Sometimes it seemed too easy for our hero Charlie to succeed. There were opportunities to have me on the edge of my seat but they fell just a little flat.
