Unusual for me with King, I generally enjoy his books, but I can't keep going. I was about halfway through but I'm abandoning this one. Awful - I hate how women are written in this book (grim), dislike the way an overweight character is described (making them a villain to justify it, lazily, and managing to make it sound like authorial opinion rather than a character's opinion), and to top it all off it was dull! I'm out.
