3.75

This was a pretty good story! Not necessarily scary until the end, but very uneasy. The scene of being with a small family in a giant, creepy hotel was definitely unsettling.
Not quite a 4 star as I just cant get with stephen king’s writing sometimes. like why are you using the n-word SO much HARD R?! also talking about women’s breasts when it has nothing to do with the scene..
so a 3.75 for me due to those things. otherwise could have been higher!
