The book read very well but on reflection the topics and storyline could be compared to different historical events that might be triggering to some. Eg. Residential schools, deportation camps, concentration camps.

This was enjoyable and entertaining, but it felt a bit formulaic. I love Stephen King, but his last two books just didn't get me where he usually does.

I really enjoyed this one! It took me a long time to get through it, but the pay off was great. I really enjoyed a lot of the characters, and the climax felt satisfying.

Loved! I’m ashamed that this is my first Stephen king read. But that will change!
I can understand why people didn’t like the ending. The ending was fitting but i didn’t like that it had to end. I wanted more of this story and the characters! Which isn’t a bad thing to me.

When someone asks me about my favorite authors, I never mention King. Maybe I should rethink that, because these days when I pick up a new King novel, I am driven to finish it as quickly as possible. The pacing is masterful, the plot compelling, and the characters will break your heart.
