🇬🇧 A quick read that ends a little too fast. The ending doesn't really answer what happened to the main character. I wish i would have known more. Stephen King, you confuse me.
I didn't hate the book but I didn't love the book either.

🇫🇮 Nopealukuinen kirja, joka loppuu vähän liian nopeasti. Loppu ei oikeastaan ​​vastaa siihen, mitä päähenkilölle tapahtui kirjassa. Toivon, että olisin saanut tietää enemmän. Stephen King hämmentää taas.
En vihannut kirjaa, mutta en myöskään rakastanut sitä.

Finished this book in two hours trying to find something that would help me fall asleep and with how boring it was it nearly did the trick.
Despite being such a short book there was plenty of unnecessary information while also having really nothing going on. The build up was anticlimactic, the characters were uninteresting, and the main issue of the story just fell flat.
Also, we get it King, you have political opinions. You don't have to be a showboat; you could make the conflicts between different types of people actually interesting instead of predictable.
Two stars for the power of friendship but honestly wouldn't recommend this one.

2.6 - This is probably my least favorite Stephen King novel/novella unfortunately. It felt like Thinner but with a message of acceptance and to just not be a homophobe. I enjoyed his cat though! The ending was pretty sad but overall this wasn't as good as I hoped it would've been.
