I like Stephen King bc I know what to expect, so I had a good enough time! But definitely wasn’t one of my favorites.

seawarrior's review against another edition

Maybe I'll try to finish this some other time... but I truly hated reading it. King has a talent for describing the mundane viscerally to impart a sense of disgust and discomfort, but weaponized it to such an extent that I quickly lost interest in finishing the book.
