I can't believe I have a new favorite Stephen King novel! I absolutely FLEW through this. I really appreciated the amount of tension throughout and it didn't get repetitive. It really felt like a psychological thriller that could be released today. And I usually HATE book-within-a-book frameworks, but this one really worked for me. Just so impressed with this... definitely worth reading even if you know the bones of the story!
