I cannot think of anyone I know who would like this book but I did like it. It was certainly thought provoking.

I knew it was going to end sad but I was surprised that it was still satisfying.

This'll probably be the only Stephen King novel I ever read, because it's not really my thing, but I'm glad to have read one. 

Update: will i be thinking about this book forever and ever?

I never thought I’d say this about a Stephen King novel — but this may be one of my favorite books ever! It was nonstop, edge of your seat reading. I couldn’t wait to see what would happen next. 

This is NOT a horror or thriller. It’s truly historical fiction meets science fiction.
