Honestly, this book was over rated in my honest opinion. I was prepared for something gruesome or twisted but I just found this book repetitive and boring. The storyline could have been done in half the size.
This was my first book of King’s I have read but I definitely didn’t enjoy any of it. Maybe it’s too soon since COVID but I couldn’t wait to be done with this book and not for the reasons I had thought I would need to be.
As for my warnings: it’s a King book it’s a warning in and of itself but definitely some disturbing things as they are cannibals and of course quite a bit of swearing
