One thing to be wary of is this book also is no exception to King's sometimes weird descriptions of what women (and sometimes also girls) look like or behave like. Just weird sexual descriptions that are just uncomfortable. I understand sometimes it's the characters themselves thinking these things (Dud regarding Ruthie is the major example here) but even still it always sticks out as weird to me.
In spite of that, though, this book was thoroughly enjoyable to read!

Stephen king is a great writer but sometimes he gets a bit too into details
It’s slow and it drags. I will say this is one of the books that has an actual ending that doesn’t feel tacked on
