Interesting concept but I personally felt like there was A LOT of slow parts. Too much story building and not enough of the actual story. Really most of the action happens in the last 1/3 of the book. Maybe my expectations are too high from Stephen King being talked up as a master of horror writing but this just wasn't it for me.
