have to admit when I first started reading this book I was very intimidated. The version that I started reading was over 1,000 pages long and is the longest book I’ve ever read. At the beginning, I wasn’t a fan of the writing, mostly due to it, taking so long to get to the main point of the book. However, as I started finishing the book, I started to understand why there was so much world building at the beginning, in order to come to the final conclusion of the story. Overall, I really enjoyed it and glad that I stepped outside of my comfort zone with this book.

One of the best books I've read in a while. Stephen King doesn't always stick the landing with his endings but here he stuck it with both feet.

I'm trying to figure out where all of these high ratings come from. King isn't a bad author. In fact, I've read quite a few of his books and enjoyed them. But this? Not his best work by far. The main character is boring (and unlikeable I might add) and the rest are one dimensional. Dare I say the main character, who is supposed to be from 2011, is passive aggressive, misogynistic, and even a bit racist. I expected so much more. This book could have been cut down to 500 pages and you wouldn't even miss the other 340. And I know King has written for years, but this book had some serious typos and errors. I don't care how famous an author is, their books need editors. Such a great plot was ruined by the constant droning of the main character, and I just didn't care. At all.
