I went into this expecting to enjoy a story about a pandemic. Nothing prepared me for the emotional journey I was taken on. I love the cast of characters and how everyone gradually links together. I love how all of kings stories have a supernatural element and I enjoyed the "is this supernatural or are we just going insane".
I would definitely recommend this book to everyone. It's not an easy read but it's so worth it.

This book might be my true first horror read, or at least it feels that way. Other horror books I’ve read were not nearly as terrifying.

As usual, Stephen King has unprotected sex with racial slurs. Just something to be aware ofdflemmons's review against another edition
