10/10: Loved the buildup to the end, with complex characters! The inclusion of Covid also makes it feel too close to real life for comfort!

Did not enjoy
dark slow-paced

Excellent writing, per usual. Plot felt somewhat predictable at times but still enjoyable. Narrator did a great job.

This is well written, of course give it’s Stephen king, but I haven’t read one of his novels in a while, and forgot how good he was.
Characters were interesting and strange of course and I found the COVID references entertaining.
