My first SK read. Always been familiar with his work but realized I never read a full book. So of course I was shocked by how often the n word and other slurs were dropped. When I looked it up, his fans proclaimed he HAD to do it to show how the bad guy was really the bad guy. A mass murderer who has a sexual relationship with his mother needs to be racist to show he’s bad? Feels like a weird cop out because SK presents himself as so lib that he can’t be accountable for racist acts. 

Anyway, as far as thrillers go, halfway through is when I got hooked. Took me day to finish the first half as I kept putting the book down. I just finished the second half after work because I couldn’t put the book down. Some predictable turns but entertaining nonetheless.

This was my first Stephen King novel and what a novel to start with. What started off as a slow burner turned into a fast-paced ending, where you’re clamouring to find out what happens. It was dark and creepy, with some lighter bits throughout. Whilst the characters seem 2D at first, as the story develops this also opens up the complexity of the characters. Keen to read on in the rest of the trilogy.
