this is the 6th Stephen King book i've read and i'm very secure in saying that he is the best author of all time.

I know i'm reading all his very popular work first before i get to his lesser known stuff but his popular work is popular for a reason and i want to know what everyone is talking about

this book is reaaaaaallly good but its the first King book ive rated less than 5 stars.
It was fast paced but the “boss fights” went too quickly and things felt too quickly concluded so the book felt kinda empty??
I loved the characters. King knows how to make you feel like you've known a character your whole life with just one page, its crazy.
I loved Mark. what a legend.

NOS4A2 by Stephen Kings son Joe Hill is the better vampire story in my opinion.
