I didn't know what to expect picking up this book, but it was fast-paced and very well-written, which I appreciated. I was optimistic at the start that I could avoid King's famous horror/gore sequences, and while the horror was not an issue there were definitely a few scenes which I had to skim over. I still highly enjoyed it overall though, despite the pressure of trying to finish it before the new year.
Graphic: Body horror, Blood, Kidnapping, and Injury/Injury detail
Moderate: Fire/Fire injury, Emotional abuse, and Death
Minor: Car accident
