I really feel, the more I read of King’s, the more I believe he doesn’t need all of his books to be 700+ pages long. I think this book could have been 500+ instead, and his writing style is definitely not my favorite. King’s use of language and racism/sexism to tell his story is not favorable, despite him using it as just a commentary on that type of way of “thinking” (this is not necessary in my opinion, you can tell a story and comment on racism or sexism without also using that within your book).
