DID NOT FINISH: 6%

I’ve read and enjoyed other Stephen King novels, and I read this when I was younger and remember enjoying it. But now, the writing just feels so clunky and hard to get through. Nigh incomprehensible at moments.

I thoroughly disliked this book. I was torn between not wanting to read it and wanting to read it so I could be finished with it. I hated the language used and the plot was boring.
