ripxw's review against another edition
King is doing his bottom two writing-isms: racist dog whistles and taking his characters on too long of a “journey” that we gain nothing from. We’ve borderline completely lost the point of the book, I’ve been confused for the last 50 pages, and something about the flow of this book is making it illegible to me.

I read this after watching the film and finding it utterly terrible. Reading a review for the book said, "not King's best novel, but even not his best are pretty darn good," which prompted me to give it a go and it was pretty good 😂 It's not amazing, but I enjoyed it and I liked the characters, especially Alice. In typical King fashion however it doesn't actually end. Just stops
