I forced myself to read this and it was terrible.
I almost - almost - did not finish it. The end is where things do finally get interesting but god the book CRAWLS. It is just terribly dull and dry. The only book of Stephen King’s that I dislike and cannot bear to read again.

I thought this book was a fun ride. I really loved the organized chaos of the plot, it was well orchestrated and impactful. Very well written, very gripping, definitely a bit of an emotional ride too. I loved it, cannot recommend enough.
There’s a lot of character complexity and history leading to the culmination of the events of this book and it’s fun to read his prior works and learn all of these characters and see the town of Castle Rock come to such an explosive conclusion.
The way people’s guilt and selfishness gets played out is really emotional to read through. There’s a lot of devastation in this book in many forms.

Spoiler Free Review:
Projections is a really intelligent and thought-provoking novel that is unique in all it's aspects. Magic, characters, story and settings. This story does feature multiple POVs and bounces around through different periods in time over a span of around 200 years. The perspective shifting can be a little hard just because some of the POV shifts take place at different times and so it can be a little disorienting. The writing flips between classical 1800s and modern styles of speaking due to the time span covered which can also be a little jarring. The pacing was a little tough for me as well, there were some really important things to the story that didn't come in until pretty late in the story.
Still a worthy read but this is one I would only re-read if I was reading it with friends, I don't think I would re-read this on my own.
