Chupito cada vez que se diga "bultos cochinos". Es lo primero que leo de Stephen King y la verdad es que me ha gustado mucho, no se me ha hecho nada denso. Lo único que me incomoda, son las descripciones de los personajes femeninos, ya que las sexualiza mucho (y son menores, por lo que incómodo x1000).

3.5 
Also lowkey listened to the musical while reading the end ✨✨

reread :
this book is just okay on my scale. my rating is low because i like the musical better and find the male gaze perspective to be really wack in the book. the characterization is weird, the descriptions are off, the pacing is slow, and the n-word is dropped twice so randomly. i do still like the big events that do occur in the book and the conclusions some of our characters meet. fun fact: the audiobook is narrated by the actress who played Carrie in the original movie
