I found this book a bit hard to get through. King is known for his shock factors in his stories but all I could focus on was the several-page-long tangents he would go on with topics that sometimes didn’t even apply to the story. I found myself skipping over parts where he included pieces of Misery because after torturing myself with reading it once i realized that it really had nothing to offer except as a filler. Disappointing, yet fruitful at the same time.
