Another day, another Stephen King book full of superfluous N word usage and sexism. I don’t know why I keep trying with him. I wish we had a larger selection of horror authors but alas. 

Also, as usual, the book was about 200 pages too long. Full of fluff. Removed some of the tensensss. I like the book better than the movie but I’m not sure I’d recommend it.
