First time reading anything by Stephen King! I’ve heard that some of his works can be very dark, so I thought I’d just dip my toe into his work by starting off with Finn (as it’s short and from the reviews, not too gory).
I actually quite liked Finn, I thought that it was well written (obviously) and it really got you engaged into the story straight away by describing all of the MC’s horrible past experiences.
There was a scene where ⚠️ minor spoiler ⚠️ the MC got waterboarded and I genuinely had to gasp a little to get air into my lungs as it was described so well.
The ending had me emotionally invested too, which I would say is pretty hard to do for such a short book!
All in all quite liked it! Only gave it 3 stars as there’s not too much to the story and it wasn’t the most memorable read, while still good to dip my toe into Kings works and see if I like them 😅
