Really enjoyable. My mom tried to get me to read this when I was younger, like maybe sixth grade or some other year in middle school, but I got to the part where the mother beat her baby, and I had to set it down. Now, I've picked it back up, still felt terribly uncomfortable at that part, but pushed on. I can see why my mom considers it one of her favorite by Stephen King. It was very well written, all the characters were good and it truly captured a small town with all the inhabitants. Definitely one I would love to read again!
