- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No

- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I know that Stephen king tends to write paranormal things, but I think in this case he just shouldn’t have. I loved the idea of the book, even loved maybe the first half of it, but then it started getting supernatural and there was just too much. This would have been a really good story if king had just left the supernatural out and kept the case as a main focus.
And I really feel like he could have gone into the mind of Frank (I think his name was Frank anyways) while he was in his coma. I would have loved to see king’s take on the mind of a coma patient who tried to kill them-self.
