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.

The story may feel like a drag halfway through but the last few chapters more than make up for it. King is great at exploring the nuances of relationships and the human psyche.
