Mostly read through the audiobook, which worked really well. Not one of King's most plot heavy stories but a great character study looking at how far people will go to survive. 

I really enjoyed the references to Gerald's game and spotting these kind of Easter eggs the more King I read

I struggled with the formatting a little -there are no chapters so it made it that bit harder to read.
