Having never seen the film or read the book prior I didn’t know what to expect. But my god it was so good! I’m so glad I read it before deciding the watch the film. This might just be my favourite King book

I am so glad I finally read this, but I don't think I ever want to again. I saw the movie fifteen years ago, which made for an interesting experience where I half-remembered some of the plot points, but was still waiting to see how the story developed. The tension in here is crazy, the mixing of past and future really adds to the story, and while it took a while to get into it, you can't really put the book down after the halfway mark.

I loved this book so much. SO much. It’s giving Just Mercy. It made me laugh, cry, feel nauseated, and reflect. It was horrifying and lovely and enthralling and sad all at the same time. I guess I get the Stephen King hype now!!!!

A tiny bit repetitive in places where it was originally released in parts.
Very enjoyable, moving.
