dark mysterious slow-paced

2.0

This was my first Stephen King book and it did not make me a fan. His thoughts seem disorganized like he just dumped out all his thoughts and published it without editing. It’s jammed packed with triggering content of pretty much every kind for seemingly no reason other than shock value.
