Stephen King is an amazing author, but this particular one didn’t hit my tastes. Mainly because it has soooo many baseball references and so much talk about baseball in general so with things like that it was hard to keep up. It was hard for me personally to get into and progress of the story/plot was slow, buuut I don’t regret reading it.
I love how genuinely scary in a more real world sense this book is. It’s not a scary clown, not a curse on a man to be thin, a guy losing gravity, or time travel. It’s just a little girl learning the world has teeth and bites.
