It was certainly a story about acceptance. That of each other and our fates. But nothing too spectacular.

A really charming read, a perfect comeback to the town of castle rock. Surprisingly a great “feel good” read.
A very interesting novella (?). It doesn't get too bogged down in minor details, but contains a very interesting story. I found the lack of an explanation for the main character's ailment more compelling than a reasoned explanation. Good stuff, quick one day read.
It certainly was not as bad as Tommyknockers, but not my favorite Stephen King book. Decent story that shouldn’t have taken me two months to read. More like 20 minutes.
I'm going to go ahead and just give this 3 stars because it's Stephen King and I like anything where the theme is "stop hating gay people for no reason." But my overall feeling when I finished was "Ummmm, what did I just read?" I just don't get it.
The fine print: reviewed 12/13/18, hence lack of detail.

To say Stephen King only writes horror is so very wrong. This little story was a beautiful fairy tale and it made me cry. Perhaps in their time of dying, everyone rises.
