MY NEW KING FAVORITE.

The Good:
Everything - everything is good. No, seriously. I cannot find any fault at all with this book. Normally I feel like King's books start out slow and could be chopped down a little, but this was just...perfect. Everything about it was wonderful, well-written, and well-rounded.

Annie is terrifying; Paul is sympathetic and brave. That's all there is to say about them.

Even the ending, which (in my humble opinion) isn't much of an ending, just feels right.

The Bad:
Nothin'.

Content:
Language: Heavy (almost every bad word in the book)
Religion: None
Romance: None
Violence: Heavy (dang...it's heavy)
