Fast read. It's not real easy to root for any of the characters, they all have their flaws but enjoyed the book.

Very interesting subject! I love the thought of curses, especially being thinner on an obese man. The psychology around losing weight is so positive until it isn’t. Anyway, I found some of the chapters to be a bit dragged out and overly descriptive. With that being said, it was a decent book and Stephen King, ad usual is a great writer.
Fucking bland as.
Will finish later if I have the mind capacity.

The bar is high on Stephen King books from this period. This book crushes the bar. Amazong.

This was a good one. King as Bachman really had some great stories. This is one of them.
Solid read. I liked the general premise of the story, and that gut punch of an ending is one of the darkest I can remember. That being said, this one felt like a novella stretched out to novel length. Add it all up, and it equals a 3-star rating from me.
