as with most Stephen King, it could have ended 50 pages earlier and the "creepiness" relies heavily on "gross-out" rather than true terror or horror.

Good thriller. Liked the ending. Didn't like the book within the book and skipped most of it. I had a hard time to keep up my reading pace and motivation since you are pulled out of the original story. Others might not be bothered by this but that is part of being it a lower rating.
The audiobook was amazingly read!

Gruesome and full of psychopathy, an absolute twister and a story that maintains its sense of terror throughout. Annie’s mental unraveling peeling away simultaneously with Paul’s hope of actually living is displayed well. King is truly the king of descriptors…
