It’s a classic but it was a little bit of a slower read for me! Was definitely frustrated with a lot of the characters at times. Like why aren’t we taking Reagan to a priest way sooner!! Chris girl the doctor isn’t gonna be able to help with this. But I’m happy I read it and I watched the movie immediately after which was fun. The book is definitely way better!

There's a reason why this is a classic and it showed by how easy it read and how compelling it was.

However, it very much is a product of its time and while I generally appreciate darker themes and shocking scenes in novels, some parts felt shocking just for the sake of shock. 

I'm glad I've read it at almost 30 and not at the first time I picked it up when I was 19.
