this was such a fun listen & it really  reminded me that there’s still fantasy out there that i’ll enjoy reading! 

This book took foreeeeeeever to finish. There were parts where it just went on and and on. Apart from that I enjoyed it.

DNF at like 41%. The first 1/3 was fine but re-treads a lot of his earlier stuff (The Talisman, Hearts in Atlantis). Charlie is the laziest teen King has ever written; he just references things that a 60-year-old would and handwaves it as "my dad made me watch a lot of old movies with him." Once Charlie got into fantasyland it slowed down when I felt like it should be picking up. From others' reviews it sounds like it doesn't get better.
