emotional reflective sad tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

3.0

Pros:
  • I love a good coming of age story
  • Ghosts
  • Setting (amusement park). Very involved in learning the new lingo and how to work there. Immersive and interesting
Cons:
  • Predictable (had very few genuine surprises)
  • The way the background characters of color are treated is... not ideal.
  • Boy howdy, does King not write women well. Jesus christ. 
  • That one "gallant men rarely getting pussy" line 🤮
