keomeara 's review for:

11/22/63 by Stephen King
1.5
slow-paced

King writes 100 words when only 1 is needed. This book was incredibly self-indulgent and I don’t like when books tell you exactly how to feel or talk down to the reader via over explanation. King writing a woman and her supposed sexual desires described as wanting “poundcake” was… not for me.

I read this book (and persisted in finishing) because it’s my partner’s favourite. I can understand the enticing nature of an epic but the execution just really wasn’t it for me
