I read this because somebody told me that it is not scary at all and I was interested in what Stephen King was writing nowadays. I feel like it is an interesting adventure but could have been a lot shorter. I also realized I have a big trigger warning about old white dudes writing about young girls and how they think they’re so hot and what they wanna do to them. That felt really gross and was hard for me to get through the book because of that. But you do get invested in Billy Summers and his whole adventure. I definitely wanted to keep reading until the very end
