If you are a fan of Kings' other books, The Institute or The Shining, you will probably like this book. Also, if you love the TV show Stranger Things, you might enjoy any of the Stephen King books I just mentioned! I wasn't a big fan of the ending of this book. It left me with lots of questions I won't get answers to and a broken heart, but despite the ending, I enjoyed the story.
