I wanted to like this book. Maybe it would read better than it plays as an audiobook. But maybe not.
It's a mess. The timeline jumps between current and literal biblical times is clunky, confusing and takes you entirely out of the rhythm.
The main character is, frankly, a douche. He's whiny, immature, selfish, self-righteous - and a cop? What? I just....
It's a test of wills now to finish it.

I'm not wild about this. They keep flipping from current day to scenes in the biblical times but it isn't done well and takes you out of the story. Plus I'm not even sure what the point is. Stephen King is still the master about incorporating the history of a place into his stories - he does it right. Here it is super clunky.
