Först och främst den här boken tog mig 49 timmar och 30 minuter att läsa! Det är mer timmar än vad en helg är!!

Jag har länge velat lösa just denna bok men varit för rädd för att läsa den. Men i november förra året bestämde jag mig för att göra det. 

Boken hoppa i tid mellan en grupp barn och dem som vuxna. Det var lite svårt att hela tiden hänga med i både karaktärs byten men också tids byten. 

Boken är skriven för ett tag sedan och det märks, den är problematisk på många sätt! Hade därför svårt att läsa i den då jag blev både arg men framförallt obekväm. 

Boken har ungefär fem kvinnliga karaktärer som har namn och är med ett flertal gånger. Dess kvinnor är ofta sexualiserade och förminskade. Vilket jag tyckte var synd då framför allt Beverly som en av huvudrollerna hade kunnat få lysa lite! 

Skulle inte rekommendera boken, den är väldigt lång med flera sidor om historiska saker som är beskrivna i minsta detalj. Jag är glad att jag läste klart den och slipper bära runt på den tegelstenen! 

Den var inte så läskig som jag trodde framförallt i slutet utan mer obehagligt i stunder som ledde upp till det! 

Kommer nog tyvärr inte mössa så långa böcker på ett tag, men är glad att det är gjort!

Sure it had good moments and great quotes but it just genuinely wasn’t worth it. It was SO LONG and I feel like I got nothing out of it. I was just kinda reading it to get it over with not because I actually enjoyed it and I kept thinking it would get better but it didn’t. Also Stephen King is so weird and I hate him what is wrong with him. Also I just kept thinking “what was this guy on when writing this, he needs a new editor.” He must’ve been on so many drugs while writing this and it did not help him
