Dolores Claiborne you're my hero. Rarely do I feel so attached to a MC in a standalone book. There's a heavy sadness weighing down every page and I'd argue this is some of King's most convincing and heartfelt writing ever. A massive surprise with great pacing and unique storytelling.

DID NOT FINISH

The only King book I ever gave up on. The style of telling everything as a police interrogation is so annoying, I couldn't stand it.

POV you’re a detective questioning someone and they proceed to tell you a 9 hour story without letting you get a single word in
