I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I can see why some King fans call this one of his best. I don’t know if I’d agree, I think I’d have to do a reread to know how I truly feel. I liked it but it didn’t connect as much as other King books have for me. Since it’s been some time I’ve gotten to really reflect and I will say it’s still worth the hype. Overall just a very sad story where you can’t help but sympathize with MC despite their questionable and horrifying actions. I think if you’ve experienced grief, especially over the loss of someone in your immediate family, then it will connect and resonate with you more and you’ll understand Louis’ actions.
