2.5 stars. i was a bit bored. i’m not sure how this qualifies as horror. it’s disturbing, but not horror at all, in my opinion. i’m a bit disappointed. probably my least favourite stephen king so far.
medium-paced

This book isn't your typical horror book. The building tension all the way through with such a somewhat relatable character just makes you wonder what you would do in this situation. With the world's obsession with body image, it certainly is a topic that's still relevant and can certainly creep into your mind. This was the last of the Bachman books, and it was a good one to end on.
