Then I read. And read. Read. And read. Read some more. Read. The end.
People keep recommending this as the "scariest" story by King. But if the emotional payoff or lack thereof is "scary" to some, then dear lord, go read some more. The action at the end was neither suspenseful nor emotional but laughable.
Part two could be interesting, but this was the biggest letdown and snoozefest of a book ever. I don't want to read King again because of it.Â
