Had a lot of mixed feelings with this book. There were some days I couldn’t put down the book and others I just couldn’t get into the story. Overall I loved the concept. This was the first Stephen King book I read and can’t wait to read more of his work.

The amount of dread this book still makes me feel even after a reread is insane.

A fantastic story with very hard-to-swallow themes. 
It's definitely a difficult tobread story, and I would recommend being cautious about your emotional state, especially if you have recently become a parent. But if you can handle it it's one of kings finest
