 🇬🇧 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.
