Actually lelarning that I am not a fan of Stephen King, but he can write well, just not a style or genre I enjoy.
This 5-year-old seems to understand the world like a 40-year-old. Creepy story of ghosts, abusive/alcoholic father and being able to see visions which just never drew me in.

Obviously a very hot take given its popularity but it took too long to build for me, didn’t really give me any creeped out feelings, and I ended up giving up towards the end when it got very racist very fast. DNF

A pretty slow book but I think the slowness fit this kind of story I don't think it would've hit the same if it was fast pace, I like the exploration of Jacks alcoholism how it effects not only himself but his family.
