For my first Stephen King book, I really enjoyed it! Though its a little bit of a slog in the middle, I really enjoyed it for what it was, and not what I expected it to be.

Read most of this while on the beaches in Greece, and was an amazing companion.

the scene where Harry's dad kills the kids with the sledgehammer is the goriest this book gets.

For reference, I love Berserk and even the violence is too much for me in parts.

Mr. King really does know how to pull it all together. I had to trust this one a lot, and the payoff is worth the price of admission— if you can get there. Trust it.
