I also do wish we could have spent more time exploring Arnie's "loser" past, as well as Dennis and Arnie's deep friendship - because it seemed to me that Arnie dropped his persona very quickly, and when the 2 dudes are with each other I felt a certain "nemesis" tension, instead of best friends.

One criticism I might have is that the romance came a bit too fast and a little unconvincingly.

So far so good. King is such a master of turning such absurd premises and situations into psychologically realistic, believable plot...

I've missed King's writing, especially in his prime. I was reminded that while his prose was accessible, sometimes there will be sentences that are metaphorical or inferred - but still enable the readers to understand what he means.

I almost forgot how great King were at describing people and their flaws and struggles. I deeply sympathise with Arnie.
