I always enjoy SK books on the whole, however I hate the way King’s misogyny seems to slips out when it comes to his female characters. For example, the what’s a woman?” “a life support system for a cunt” bit. I know it’s a deliberate choice for the writing style/context, but this aggressively misogynistic shit gets exhausting to me after a while. It was still a thrilling read though.
