My poor hair almost all got pulled out from the intensity of it all.
Biggest criticism: the ending happened too quickly. A habit of Mr King.
Also this has every single major trigger warning you can think of. If you are someone who needs content warnings for your own mental safety and security, this is NOT the book for you! If you like fucked up shit and to experience triggering things then give it a go

I'm not fully certain if I really enjoyed this book, or just kind of like it.
The ending is honestly probably one of my favorite endings by King, but unlike The Stand, I'm not as impressed by the world and character development. A bunch of meth heads on a power trip, trapped inside a dome, with one veteran, who could have really helped the town survive and make it out relatively safe, but... Meth.
