Too disturbing in describing a gang rape scene.

Very cliché. Too long. So many unnecessary details. The ending was a bit of a twist but not satisfactory.

aesweole's review against another edition

dark tense

5.0

this book kept me on edge the whole time. i absolutely hated the villains, king did a good job making them the most annoying and awful people. it was like i was watching a drama tv show, a fucking emotional rollercoaster. something bad happens to main characters— shit! something good happens to them — phew😮‍💨 i know it’s how it’s supposed to be, but in a lot of cases i just don’t care enough to care about the characters. perhaps, it’s more of a me problem, still. this book is by far my favorite of king’s.

I really enjoyed reading this book. King's character development, espcially through dialog, shines here.
It's a page turner for 1,000 pages - which is impressive.
Beware - it's a heavy book! :-)

Not a plot spoiler below, but wanted to make sure folks opted in to see it by choice.

book is a great read but the ending was a let down for me after 1,000 pages. I'd give it a 4 to 4.5 for the first 900 pages and a 3 for the last 100.

This is about how messed up things can get. Think lord of the flies. Extremely well done but there's a lot of trigger warnings in this book,
