Appreciated the dystopia and general plot. Did not appreciate all of the racist language.

What a dystopia this man creates. As someone who loves Orwell I love the reference and work that King puts into this book. My fourth or fifth reread honestly

What was this Stephen?? What was this 💀 

Ive heard great things about his writing, but one can only wonder if people were lying to her after reading this. I could only take so much of descriptions of shit, perky boobs, rape and balls. Not to mention the numerous homophobic and racist passage that were entirely unnecessary. 
I know this is an older book; doesn’t negate how I felt about it.
The plot started off very weird and fast, and I didn’t like its execution.

Quick read 3.5⭐

This concept again plays on (as many of Kings works do) the age old "humans are the real monsters" trope. In a totalitarian future, society is kept in check with entertainment of human suffering (not much of a difference from what the 2020's of our current lives have to offer.) I think there's lots of good concepts in this one, and considering it was written over 40 years ago it can be eerie what elements have been prophesied in a way. 

In terms of writing, it's not as waffle-ly as some of King's other works, this one definitely made a good go at an "action" genre, while still having the in-depth complex character thought that I enjoy about King's books.
