This was a pleasant surprise. Everybody seems to hate it and while the beginning is really edgy and bad the book gets progressively better until it kinda morphs into Lord of the Flies. If it was better written, less edgy (I think that's how King tried to mask his style), if the killings weren't mindless but those people actually hurt Charlie it could've been even better, more relatable. The way it is I feel like it only reinforces the school shooter stereotype of mindless killing which is a shame.
