Definitely not one of my favorite Stephen King novels. I was built up for a super horrific and terrifying novel, but found this to be more nostalgic and reminiscent. Action was mostly limited to recollection of events instead of being in the moment, and due to the memoir writing style you didn't feel a sense of danger with the main character. Action was rampant at the end, which was super depressing to me instead of horrifying.

I was expecting more of a bang (hello cover) but the storm didn't quite hit me the way I hoped. I may have been a victim of hype, so I will probably try this one again in a few years.
