I liked this but didn't love it.

The idea is kind of great. Basically a guy who's very overweight gets cursed and starts to become thinner. And there's no stopping it. As the story progresses we learn why, and it gets darker and darker, and basically a revenge tale. I liked it but I also thought the first half was far stronger than the second half. When we got into the mobster helping out main lead, it felt a bit weird and out of nowhere if I'm being honest.

But overall a fun early Stephen King work I enjoyed but didn't love in the end!
