It was absolutely everything I wanted and more.

This was my first Stephen King book and I couldn't have chosen a better introduction to the man.

I could go on and on about how much I loved the characters, how satisfied I was with the ending, how I was on the edge of my seat every single page, but right now I just finished the book and, over everything, what I feel is awe.

The edition of the book I got is extremely dense, 480ish pages with a font size so hilariously minuscule, but the words just flew by.

“He wanted to tell Luke that he was brave, maybe the bravest kid ever outside of the boys adventure book. He wanted to tell Luke that he was strong and decent and his folks would be proud of him. He wanted to tell Luke that he loved him. But there were no words and maybe no need of them. Or telepathy.

Sometimes a hug was telepathy”

5 Stars, I am warm.
