This is another one of SK's non-horror books and I figured I'd really like this one since I liked The Stand so much. It was good, definitely got better as the book went on - in the start when there was lots of character-building, the bad guys were just a little too depraved to be enjoyable reading.
But then, as the story got rolling, I couldn't put it down. I was just so CURIOUS to see how it ended and what would happen next. If you've read The Shining, he uses a similar tactic in this book by giving certain characters psychic visions of what is going to happen. You don't know when or how, but you can just feel it coming and it gives a super fun pressure and intensity to the book.

Violent. Gross at times. If you still want to read it, do your research on triggers warnings.
