dark mysterious slow-paced

2.0

This was my first Stephen King book and it did not make me a fan. His thoughts seem disorganized like he just dumped out all his thoughts and published it without editing. It’s jammed packed with triggering content of pretty much every kind for seemingly no reason other than shock value.

woweewhoa's review against another edition

I picked up the book because the concept seemed interesting, however knowing how long the book is and the fact that things, only ~200pages started going off, I just decided that I'm not particularly interested in it. I do think this book does have compelling stuff going on in it, but it just belabors for too long and I'm just forcing myself through it which. Is not particularly fun.
