Overall, ok. The characters are fine. The main twist you can get from the start. By no means is it bad. I feel like I have read this story a dozen times.

I picked this book up because there was so much negativity surrounding it & I wanted to see for myself.  It isn't the best book written, but it is fun. The characters weren't distinct at first but as I got into it, they became more distinct. Books like this are great for when I need something light & easy.

This is a beautifully tragic book. It felt like I read a 300 page book, not a novella. I loved the imagery. Just beautiful.
challenging dark emotional informative reflective sad fast-paced

Very good. I especially liked that it was the author speaking & all of the recordings. Wish we knew what happened to Dustin.
dark emotional informative slow-paced

This was pretty good. I knew very little prior to listening. Found the Diane Downs association interesting.

I really don't like his writing style. The run-on sentences drive me crazy.

I really loved this book. It was such a fun read & at times, over the top. The beginning was great - I went from scared to laughing (the reviews) so many times. I heard it wasn't very good, but seriously, it was so much fun. Don't understand it...

I really love the original movie. I was happy to see how close the movie was to the book. It was a really good read, even with King's obvious obsession with breasts LOL
