I LOVE Stephen King books. Though this story was a bit slow paced at times, its a wonderful read and it captures a great and treacherous adventure of a young teen who was victim to child trafficking. Great book. So glad to have read it. 

Spoiler

I think the fact that these children were kidnapped to kill destructive people around the world sets up for a good discussion. What does it take to eliminate bad people? Where do you draw the line?
