King employs steam-of-consciousness throughout this book, which was an interesting deviation from his normal style. I think it really works, considering the book is basically set in Paul Sheldon's head. You get a lot of insight into addiction, the writing process, and how many ways one can describe pain. Overall, a good book.
Graphic: Addiction
Moderate: Confinement, Medical content
