Obviously a compelling opening from King, but I feel like he gets away with breaking writing rules that would get an indie author into hot water with readers. Like using parentheses to express additional character thoughts or ignoring word economy in some places while showing mastery of it in others.

The last 100 pages or so have brought the action to a screeching halt. Seems like such a wasted opportunity after all the work King did to build it up in the first 300 or so pages.

The book had taken a decidedly "Kingly" turn, and the action is finally heating up.

King really knows how to punch ya in the gut after getting attached to characters.

I'm a rare reader who has never read King's straight horror, but I'm hooked on this one as to be expected. I'm constantly amazed at how well he puts me in the characters' heads. I'm interested to see how this plays out.
