This book started off really good, had me hooked from the introduction. However, as the book went on, it was way too wordy and so many parts were dragged on. I felt like it was a lot of build up for nothing to even really happen at the end. The ending absolutely sucked. Movie>>>>book. And I never say that.

Stephen King said that this is his darkest novel, in his opinion. And he's right, probably? An upsetting concept and a somewhat obscene execution.

Coming back wrong is an interesting premise, but I just didn't like this version. Partially because there's a toddler involved, partially because I didn't like the story in general. idk. King has some fetishes, and I'm tired of hearing about them maybe?

I don't feel like there's much original I can say about this. Like, I'm not put off King books now, but maybe I'll read reviews first?

Excellent writing and pacing. I loved this one. The descriptions were so vivid and engaging I found myself completely wrapped up in it.
