Wow.
I didn’t expect to put this close to my top five Stephen King books when I began. It was such a wonderful book, mostly because of Edgar and Wireman. The ending was a couple of gut punches of sadness. To add to great characters and an emotional ending, this is the kind of book that will sit with you and make you ponder life. What kind of people are we and how do we use our time with those we love?
Fantastic all around…if not a bit dragged out near the end.
