This is very different from what I expected of Stephen King and I loved it!! I enjoyed the little bits of fairy tale lore laced throughout the story and the dollops of King’s world mentioned too. It was a fun story to listen to and a great twist on fairy tales in a very Stephen King way!

This is my first Stephen King novel, and I totally agree with the stereotype of kinda not so great endings. Well written though, and hey nos I've read a King novel.

nialiversuch's review

I found the book too long, overly wordy and slow. I also didn't like the representation of people with disabilities/facial differences.
