This was a different kind of book. It was more supernatural than horror. At times it was really slow and hard to get through and other times it was pretty well done. It was a fun read but it wasn't quite as good as some of his other stuff.

Literally, a 700 paged book of how men are trash.
A masterpiece. It was so fictitious yet so realistic as well. I couldn't predict the ending which means it was really good novel.
It's a long read. Took me two months to finish it but it was worth it. After reading this, I have decided to hoard Stephen King's novels
Trigger warning// sexual abuse, verbal abuse, physical abuse, murder, suicide

This was a hard novel to get through. I thought it was because I read The Stand, It, and all the Dark Tower series this year. I thought i had Stephen King-itis, but now I know from a lot of the reviews below that I am not alone. The story was okay, but there were only a couple of characters that I could identify with, and I'm from the South, too. I figured I'd identify with more of them, but I kind of don't like the stereotype of: SOUTHERN ACCENT = METH ADDICTION. I guess, in this day, this the last group of people we can still stereotype and get away with it. I could be wrong and over-reacting some, but it doesn't send a good signal. There are good people that don't succumb to that stuff in all walks of life. It seemed like most of the people in that town were just stupid. There wasn't a well-rounded selection of personalities. I guess if I wanted to be encouraged, this wasn't the book to read.

Taken together I really enjoyed this story, although there were some drawbacks. I found that the amount of characters, and switching from their first to last name and vice versa made it harder to follow the story line. The characters never developed fully to the point where I was emotionally involved with their lives, but I think that's ok. Anyways, still loved a good story by Stephen King! :)
