I like longer slow paced books to allow for character development but this was too slow for me. I felt like the best part of the book happened in the very last couple of chapters.

I decided to do a re-read of my favourite King (so far), but this time, I listened to the audiobook! I'm a sucker for a ghost story, and that's why I loved this so much. Its extremely creepy, dark, unsettling and horrific. It's slow moving, and has a lot of character building, but that's part of what makes this story so chilling, because it feels so much more personal. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5
