Gruesome and full of psychopathy, an absolute twister and a story that maintains its sense of terror throughout. Annie’s mental unraveling peeling away simultaneously with Paul’s hope of actually living is displayed well. King is truly the king of descriptors…

4.5

My 1st Stephen King's book n I like it.
It feels fast-paced in an overall medium-paced setting(?). Probably because you feel tense all the time with nerve and anticipation. It gets real dark too (so vivid!) and at many points I had to sit up reading because it got too uneasy(in a good way, i guess) to be lying down, cozy in bed. 

I highly recommend the audiobook read by Lindsay Crouse, she did a phenomenal job bringing the story, and characters (esp. Annie) to live! Got all sort of chills listening to her narration as I read along and it made the whole experience even more enganging! 11/10!
