challenging dark tense medium-paced

I can't recall the last time a character made me as uncomfortable and angry as Brady Hartsfield. I wanted to rage and was rooting for him to be caught the entire time. I was heavily pregnant when I read the book and coming to the opening scene of Brady running the Mercedes through the crowd, killing the baby was difficult to stomach.

King is a master of making you feel his writing.

I’ve heard good things about Stephen King’s new book Holly, thought it would be best to go back to the beginning. The points of view, ideas and some language feels a little dated even if it’s just from 2014.
