Finished this book in two hours trying to find something that would help me fall asleep and with how boring it was it nearly did the trick.
Despite being such a short book there was plenty of unnecessary information while also having really nothing going on. The build up was anticlimactic, the characters were uninteresting, and the main issue of the story just fell flat.
Also, we get it King, you have political opinions. You don't have to be a showboat; you could make the conflicts between different types of people actually interesting instead of predictable.
Two stars for the power of friendship but honestly wouldn't recommend this one.
