My first Stephen King novel and although I am a fan of the writing and the clear talent of his storytelling skills, certain themes in this book made me really uncomfortable. Then again, maybe that was the point. I just did not enjoy reading about topics such as sexual abuse etc. Other than that, the story was gripping and made for an intriguing read.
