Twice in chapter 16, King uses one of my favorite words in the English language: "elephantine."
That's worth an extra half star in my ultimate rating.

Maybe I've wasted too much time in Holly-land, say-thankee sai King. This isn't grabbing me yet.

Elephantine is an adjective that means very large, bulky, or massive, often resembling an elephant in size, weight, or clumsy movement.

Oh, thanks for that information,I was going to look up what it meant until I saw your comment 🤣
This is actually the first novel I've read where "elephantine" was used. In college, I began using it in my speech (and writings) because the word "fat" was deemed too offensive to use by certain persons who controlled my grades. 😝
