So this wasn’t the greatest Stephen King book I’ve read, however there are really good elements to this book. I’d love to see more books that follow this idea because it is very incredible. Anyways, I wrote this instead of sleeping.

i hated this book!! this is going to be my last stephen king read, that man cannot keep himself from writing the N word in his books. also contains frequent usage of a slur against Romani people and depicts them as evil. lots of fatphobia inherent in this book and concept (which i knew going in)
