2.5 stars. 2 felt too harsh, 3 too much. I can’t really articulate what about this didn’t work for me. I thought it was going to be a horror book, blurbs talk about being vintage King, but it’s not that at all. Were there disturbing parts? Yes. Was I ever scared? Nope, not even a little. The writing was all right-ish, but it just wasn’t at all what I thought it would be. It also took FOREVER to get to the “good” part.
