I haven’t read many books of King’s but I’m not as much of a fan of his writing style as I am of the stories themselves.
Moderate: Sexual violence and Racial slurs

Only lost points because the random mid-sentence thought brackets were very off-putting, occasionally would switch scenes with absolutely no indication towards doing so, and the numerous references to racist caricatures (while yes, a result of the time period) were unnecessary and gross. I'm aware these kinds of things come up in King's early books but they very much do affect my ratings.
Otherwise, enjoyed the reading experience immensely.
