This is such a mixed bag for me. It was the first of King's books that I've read. I enjoyed it overall, but was expecting more with the name behind it. It didn't feel very polished, almost like it needed a few more rounds of edits. I did appreciate the relationship between Charlie and his dad, it was very touching
