I liked this but didn't love it.
The idea is kind of great. Basically a guy who's very overweight gets cursed and starts to become thinner. And there's no stopping it. As the story progresses we learn why, and it gets darker and darker, and basically a revenge tale. I liked it but I also thought the first half was far stronger than the second half. When we got into the mobster helping out main lead, it felt a bit weird and out of nowhere if I'm being honest.
But overall a fun early Stephen King work I enjoyed but didn't love in the end!

Nossa, chatão o livro.
Não me prendeu na história, o protagonista é um porre. A escrita do King também não está tão legal nesse livro. O livro promete algo que não cumpre. Sempre com um pé atrás lendo os livros do "Richard Bachman."

Typically, one of my favorite things about Stephen King’s books are the every man protagonist that being said it’s very enjoyable when we get a rare asshole as a protagonist. It was enjoyable to watch this man’s fall apart and for him to get every ounce of his dessert.
