2.0

I was not partial to the formula- huge build up, mediocre “twist”, bland resolution. I love Stephen King, as many do, but this just did not hit right. The plot had potential to be great, I just feel like it was danced around too long to be satisfying perhaps. 

Maybe King did this on purpose, I haven’t looked into it, but Bob very much brings Dennis Rader (BTK) to my mind. Very similar MOs.
