For a book with a fast paced plot this story is told in slow motion and I just couldn’t get on with it
I think it's a fun premise, but I wasn't engaged. Nothing bothered me, nothing blew me away. I think there's a natural limitation to a story with one character in one scenario whose outcome ends the story - anything before the end doesn't feel needed to propel the story forward. The middle needs dialogue and action, but the sources of them have been intentionally limited. Leaning harder into the delusion and the supernatural may have helped - although at this point I may just be asking for a watered down version of It. I'm glad I gave this one a listen, and glad it was short.

Not the worst Stephen King I've read but not close to his usual threshold, in my opinion. I will say that the premise is a solid one and the book itself is compulsively readable. I devoured in chunks in just a few sittings, so it definitely has that going for it. And the mention of the Subaudible was nice, as was the eerieness of the particular antagonistic force that was introduced. Still, I struggled with Trisha as a main character (she suffers from that King tendency of writing children who think and act a lot older than the average kid their stated ages,) and it really stretched my suspension of disbelief thin.
