Buckle up for a lot of teenage boy inner dialogue that is somehow both overly horny and very contemplative, kids getting
Also, the ending is classic King, and is annoyingly infuriating. If you are looking to read a King novel, look at almost any other book. It is well written, and you do get attached to the characters but that almost makes the book harder to read.

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)
