slow-paced
- Strong character development? No

- Diverse cast of characters? No
1.0
An offensive and underwhelming read. As someone who is not a fan of Stephen King, it is fitting that his positive review rests on this book's cover. Even considering its 1971 publication, this book's reduction of its characters to unsympathetic stereotypes and general lack of plot leave the reader wishing they'd picked up something else. One star because it was a quick read that did compel me to complete the novel, though the ending was even less of an event than expected.
