This book took me so long to read because it was very tough at the beginning. But it is well writte , I like Kings writing skills a lot. In the end of the book I hated the sexual scene when they were kids but the end after all was pretty cool. I had a lot of fun with it~

Once again, the movies are better…if only because you don’t have to put up with King’s egregious sex scenes and over the top racism. Seriously, someone needs to investigate this man.

I can not feel more more conflicted by a book given how it started and it ended. I like the journey and the characters, but the subject matter is extremely uncomfortable and weirdly handled.

kiwifay's review against another edition

No amount of alcohol or coke can make this good. No amount of alcohol or coke can make me ignore the thousands of slurs.

I think I’ll take my copy camping and use it as fire starter.
