Welp I hated it. This is my least favorite King. The only thing saving it from 1 star is the beginning where things are starting to go south

I read this book 2 years ago or so because I found it at the thrift store for 2 bucks. I had already been told by other SK fans that it wasn't very good so I wasn't thrilled to read it. One day I saw it sitting there and I was thinking that maybe I'll see something here that others didn't and I might like it.
Ha!
So rumor has it he wrote this book under the influence of severe pain meds--yeah, I can tell! This story is so muddy, I was confused most of the time I was reading it.
So, there are these 4 friends on a hunting trip. We are shown that these friends help to save a Down's Syndrome kid from bullies in their past and that it gave them special abilities...COOL!
But then wait, they're attacked by aliens out in the woods!
HUH?
And then there is something in their bowls? And then...and then...I just quit reading. DNF

I read this book back in High School and remembered how odd it was, but also how intrigued I was by it and the fact that I couldn't put it down. I'll probably read it again sometime soon as the same copy is sitting in our shelf, some 10 or so years later.
I had 100 pgs left and I couldn't bring myself to finish this book. It was heart breaking for me. It was very evident that this was post accident/ pain pills SK.
3.5
Good but not excellent, especially because of its messy, unfocused plot.
