Scorrevole, non troppo lungo, trattiene al punto che diventa quasi impossibile metterlo da parte prima d’aver finito. Nel complesso, la storia si dipana in modo un po’ troppo “veloce”, lasciando il lettore in superficie.

2 Stephen King books read. I don’t need to read another for awhile but they do keep me engaged and wanting to know how it ends.

A quick read, it felt like Stephen King, being such a prolific writer, had an idea and just hashed it out really quickly. One of those books I don't think would have been published if it wasn't written by him.
The callback to 'It' felt cheap and the little bit at the end saying 'the writing got better' than at the start was a bit blunt - let the reader be the judge.
The plot and pacing was good, I was interested enough to want to know what happens and the overall idea was fun.
It just felt like the characters lacked the depth I know King can provide. Jamie being the narrator removed any jeapordy and the resolution with Liz was telegraphed a bit too early. I enjoyed the relationship between him and his mum - that felt really real. The 'Uncle' Harry / Dad reveal was too quickly done and a bit ham fisted.
Overall okay but one I will likely forget about.
