More enjoyable than Mr. Mercedes for me somehow? Maybe it's that I'm more invested in the characters now. I enjoyed the alternating timeline, and the classic Kingism of how the first 1/3rd of the book seemed like a completely different story, but then that it all came together in the end. And of course, kids save the day!

Ummm…all I can say is wow! And I am immediately diving into the third book.

I can’t believe it has taking me this long to start reading Stephen King. After I am done with this trilogy, I am starting at the beginning.
