It’s a classic for a reason. Definitely worth the read, even if it’s just to cross it off your list. Spends a bit too much time describing girl’s breasts though.

1.0

As usual, King has a good idea which gets slaughtered by the disgusting way he writes of women, girls, and sex. The more of his works I read, the more disappointed I am. 

The jumping around from POV to POV to newspapers and writings of other characters telling the story was done in such a bizarre way. Like his previous books, this also included (despite being only 242 pages) descriptions of and interviews with people that really did not matter. The entire part three could've been left in the drawer as a draft and nothing more.

So all in all, not a great read.
