5.0

I’ve read this book twice now. It is by far one of my favorite books of all time, partially because of Stephen King’s writing and partially because it can appeal to people from a variety of age groups. I’ve always admired his way of researching and incorporating that into his work, and Luke Ellis is one of my favorite characters. He’s not made out to be anything incredibly special, and he doesn’t turn into a superhuman, but his character develops incredibly over the course of the book. I will always give it five stars:)
