FIVE STARS.
this was my first stephen king read, and it will not be the last. every moment was gripping and i simply couldn't put it down. ill admit, at the start i wasn't very interested; tim jamieson was not a compelling character to me. but with luke ellis i was enthralled. this twelve year old is so smart and witty, so much more than i could ever hope to be.
i'm not sure how many times i had to close the book and reflect upon what i had just read, because it happened so much. i was constantly surprised, i stopped trying to guess what would happen because i was always wrong. absolutely wonderful for my first read of 2024.
