Elsker, elsker, elsker Stephen King, og hans måde at skrive på, men jeg synes, at jeg blev lidt tabt i denne bog. Plottet var mere kringlet og sværere at forstå, end mange af hans andre bøger, som jeg har læst. Synes dog at den havde en fed måde at blive opbygget på, men måske var der lidt for meget baggrunds information, som gjorde det svært at huske alle navnene osv.

I’ll be honest, this book holds a ton of misogyny/unsettling thoughts from men about women shed in a positive light or a “that’s just how we are” light and it was hard to read sometimes. Huge fan of King but this one I could’ve skipped.
