This book was another enjoyable book by Stephen King for me. The characters developed well over time, and were pretty lovable despite their (obvious) flaws. The plot also had twists that were both expected and unexpected. It would have perhaps been more enjoyable for me without the Maine accent in the writing, but other than that I find this book to be fairly underrated.
