The story is too slow-paced in action for me, but the descriptions are well-written. The journey through the mind of the main character is fun. This delivers on the creepy vibes.

sophactuallyreads's review against another edition

Reading this felt like more of a chore, like a, “oh it’s Stephen King, you have to read it” sort of deal- maybe I’ll pick it up in a year or so or sometime when I have the ability to actually sit down and have the patience for it

I literally had gotten to the rising action too and it didn’t hold my interest

What sucks is I love the stories King comes up with, but sitting through the writing is just way too tough.
