I listened to this on audio and it was an amazing listen! Michael C Hall was a great narrator, I love that you could always tell which character was speaking because of the unique voices he gave each of them. This book held my attention from beginning to end, I often found myself not wanting to stop listening. 

edit: I am upping my rating from a 4.5/4.75 to a 5 because it is four months later and I cannot stop thinking about how good this was

I’ve been reading Stephen King since the 80s and this is his most gruesome work in my opinion. Not for the faint of heart, but it says a lot about loss, grief and the acceptance of death. Michael C. Hall’s narration was amazing.

I honestly can't really put my feelings on this book into words. It is honestlv one of the most eerie if not saddest books of his that I've read so far. This is one of the only endings I've read that I really am sad about, but it's definitely not dissatisfactory in the least. I'm not crying. You're crying.
