3.0

Really had high hopes when it started off with the story of Charlie, his dad, Mr. B and Radar. Once he delved into the fairytale world, it was really hard to finish. It got very frustratingly repetitive, dull and dragged on and on when it didn't need to. The voice actor was the only thing that kept me going.

Good Book! Sadly very slow and long for a quite simple Story.  The first and the last 200 pages were really good. All in All its a great tale with highs and lows.

The book is well written as one expects from Stephen King. The book almost reads as two separate but connected stories. It is intriguing, interesting yet also dark and very disturbing at times. The creative tale brings the reader into an alternate world that has fallen under the leadership of a monster. An interesting cast of characters work together to bring the fairytale to a happy ending.

The audible version’s narrator does a fantastic job! This is an amazing book to listen to!
