5 stars isn't enough. Despite seeing this movie dozens of times, this book was extremely captivating and emotional.

I went into this knowing very little & I was not prepared for cajun prison Ratatouille or to have any feeling of joy completely obliterated. I struggle to review some of King's books because they're overall fantastic but there's issues such as race & misogyny that aren't handled as well as they could have been. However, are they handled as well as an old white man who grew up in a state with like one black person could handle them? Probably. In his books I've read with black characters in them it's evident that he carries some white guilt & tries to be antiracist, but due to his background he tends to rely on tropes. He also wants to make things "realistic" when it comes to small town life & how awful people can be, but that can lead to slurs & the like which may be unpleasant or triggering.  I have to knock off half a star when his books are like this
