This book’s reputation as one of the best of King’s works is very much so apparent. The minor faults toward the end are also apparent. Nonetheless, loved my time with this book. It’s downright briskly paced for a book that’s over 1000 pages.

Ein fesselndes, geniales und verstörendes Buch, das mir an einigen Stellen doch schon fast ein bisschen zu viel war.

This could've been half the length and it would've been way better. There's SO MUCH extra/excess information and background. Also major trigger warnings.

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.
