Felt like a short story, which I mean as a compliment. So much of the world is hinted at while keeping the focus squarely on the protagonists. Left me wanting to read more stories set in this same world.

There was no reason for this audiobook to be almost 11 hours long. I thought, surely the whole book cannot be just the long walk but it is. 

Buckle up for a lot of teenage boy inner dialogue that is somehow both overly horny and very contemplative, kids getting

violently shot and killed when they stop walking for over two minutes

and Kings classic over descriptions. 

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.
