Look, is it a perfect book? Of course not, it's written by Stephen King. 
Did the story suck me in until the very last word and had me staring at a wall for two days (in a good way)? Yes.

Labai gera knyga, gal kada nors ir filmą peržiūrėsiu. Jau iš anksčiau buvau prieš mirties bausmę, o dabar dar labiau šiuo savo nusistatymu įsitikinau.

Read this with my class of seniors and my GOD was I enraptured by this book. Such a heart wrenching tale about the injustice of the Justice system and the finality and cruelty of death. Paul’s narration does an amazing job of pulling you through, giving you pieces of the puzzle but not letting them fit until the last possible second. This is my first King novel, and I never would’ve picked up one of his works otherwise had it not been for my student teaching placement.
