I really enjoyed this book. King really is a master at descriptions and world building. I often felt like I was there with Jack on his adventures. It was a great mix of fantasy/horror and I loved all of the characters. The "bad guys" were well written and exactly what I wanted from villains.
The only reason I didn't give the full 5 stars is because the book had very rare instances of seeming to go on a bit in terms of getting to the end of the main protagonists goal.
I plan on getting the sequel to see where Jack ended up so wanting to continue is always a good sign!
