I never read a Stephen King book all the way through until Fairy Tale.

That being said, if I didn’t take this book on in audio format I really don’t think I would have liked it as much as I did. His writing, while good, is very hard to get into. I was able to appreciate that slow burn beginning after the fact but it was very brutal during it. I just kept thinking “can we get to the guts of this book already?!”

I honestly felt more indifferent than anything else about the book. I gave it three stars because the writing was good and I didn’t take any major issues with it I just felt…meh. Wouldn’t recommend it to anyone but I don’t regret reading it. I can honestly say though that I probably could’ve walked away from this book without knowing how it ended and never think twice about it.

I can see how some people could love it though, I just wasn’t one of them.
