For more of the story, I didn’t get the hype and only kept going because I had the Morgan Freedman character in my head. (That movie is so iconic, I don’t think I actually ever watched it (too disturbing) but I still know it well.) But, I kept with it, and it’s definitely a good story and King can bring characters and places to life.
