Overall this book was pretty good. I've  enjoyed other Stephen King books a lot more though and found this one to drag a little. I still found it really interesting and can definitely see how it relates to our society. I hated the ending of this so much, it just didn't make a lot of sense to me. I think it might as I read more of his books but who knows.
