It took me just under two months to get though, weaving in other books.
The cast of characters was huge but King does a great job of helping you to stay on top of who’s who as you get deeper into the book.
So many interesting themes and questions are raised with this, and while the scope is large, it all fits! Family, death, violence, grief, survival, sociology, community, politics, law and order, religion, war, and more. It’s all in here.
It is all about a global pandemic, so if you’re feeling like it’s too close to home, then pass. I kept on thinking about it how terrifying the beginning segments would have been if I’d started reading it a year earlier.

This will be the last Stephen King book I'm tempted to read. He's gross and I'm done with him.
