Read all of Part 2 this morning. Genuinely, this thing is way more emotionally impactful than I expected, and very human. The mixed horror and empathy I feel for this man is . . . I don't know, I'm just surprised at how good the balance is with this book. Will finish tomorrow; it might even wind up being my favorite Bachman book, which is the exact opposite of what I expected.

Read all of Part One today. Honestly *way* better than I was expecting based both on reputation and on my own bouncing off within the first couple "chapters" the first time.
Shockingly emotionally resonant and compelling overall. Excited to read Part Two tomorrow!

Technically started this morning - only read the couple-page prologue. Hope to get through this in just a handful of days as King typically reads quick.
That said. I remember starting this back in 2020 and, uh, not being into it so we’ll see what happens!
