Sure it had good moments and great quotes but it just genuinely wasn’t worth it. It was SO LONG and I feel like I got nothing out of it. I was just kinda reading it to get it over with not because I actually enjoyed it and I kept thinking it would get better but it didn’t. Also Stephen King is so weird and I hate him what is wrong with him. Also I just kept thinking “what was this guy on when writing this, he needs a new editor.” He must’ve been on so many drugs while writing this and it did not help him

I love Stephen King, but this book was such a draaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag. I needed several attempts and a couple of switches between audiobook and normal reading just to make it through. The plot per se was great as always, but the prose was just really unnecessarily complicated and dragged out. Yet I’m just so happy to have finally managed to read the book that scared and scarred me so much when I was 10 years old and watched it with several older friends ages ago.
