They walk. They banter. Sex reference. Someone gets shot.

Again I can't speak on the rest of the novel, I only stopped 20% in.
Recommend to: If you think the concept is neat and can suffer through "men writing women syndrome"

My only gripe is the use of the Nword. It felt gratuitous.
I would also would have liked more context about the world and what happens after the race, but I respect King’s choice to show only what he did.

The plot became redundant to an exhaustive degree. How many times can you describe the exact same thing? Garraty's feet hurt, he struggles for a moment, gets a couple of warnings, and then comes to his senses (with the help of McVries). I feel like the message would. have been just as successful if this was a short story instead. I also didn't get the point of the quotes that began each chapter. They were just so random.
I loved McVries (and Garraty wanted him sooooo bad)
