8.75/10. This pulled me in from the very first chapter. I listened to it on audiobook and for three days I could do nothing else but listen to it. The characters are distinctive and endearing. They carve themselves right into your little heart and suddenly you can’t quite breathe when something bad happens to them in the book. The story is incredible, it keeps you guessing and leaves you at the absolute edge of your seat. It’s books like this that define why Stephen King is such a formative writer.
