There's a place along Interstate 50 that some call the loneliest place on Earth. It's known as Desperation, Nevada.
It's not a very nice place to live. It's an even worse place to die.
Let the battle against evil begin.
Welcome to ... Desperation

48% (view spoiler)[ okay the baby that was bitten by rattlesnakes got me. And now Steve and Cynthia are definitely gonna die because they want to grab that statue fragment and then have sex in a pile of scorpions. And why does the statue make them lust for power?? (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ that really wasnt where i was expecting this one to go!! I didn't know Tak would be a demon with powers, I thought it was just like something possessing or taking over the bodies. I guess it makes sense for it to be a demon but i really didn't expect it! (hide spoiler)]

finished

(view spoiler)[ im gonna miss johnny. i liked the good vs evil stuff. talk was very cool. i just think the book was way too long to keep my attention sometimes so i kept zoning out. i wanna maybe retry the abridged and watch the movie or reread it someday. dunno when ill get to the regulators (hide spoiler)]

finished (view spoiler)[ I think I am reeling about David having the blue hall pass in his pocket from Johnny! How did he even find it in the middle of nowhere Nevada?? I know its because of God, and to prove something to David, but that last part made me lose my mind!

Overall? Loved it so much. I think king books can be too long but I think i'm used to it by now. I liked that it was a 'slow burn' and introduced us to a bunch of characters before going absolutely bonkers (hide spoiler)]
