5.0

I was very surprised with how much I enjoyed this! Admittedly, it was my first King novel I had ever read (gifted to me) and I can't believe I haven't started until now. Although it seems to be much more of a thriller novel than a horror, there's still moments throughout the book which shock and surprise. The characters each have their own distinctive personality and King surprisingly manages to win the reader's sympathy towards the 'villain' on several occasions. Overall, an exciting, fast-paced novel which offers an insight into the mind of a dumb kidnapper.
