Wow. I just don't even know what to say about this story other than I think it's some of his best work ever. I've read everything by Stephen King since I was a kid and I don't think there's anything I didn't like. Maybe maximum overdrive actually, but anyways this story is fucking amazing. I started listening to the audiobook when it first came out but couldnt get into it.
I kept trying to listen to it and i dont know i just kind of assumed that since Charlie's alive and telling us his story, I know what's going to happen. The stakes didn't feel high enough for me. But holy shit, it really took me a while to get into it, but I think this is one of his greatest novels. One of my favorites to be sure. I'm hooked on it. Absolutely love Stephen King's writing. I sincerely think he's one of the best authors who consistently writes great stories.
I'm a huge fantasy fan (I even like The Eyes of the Dragon and his dark tower series).
Anyways this is a great fucking story. I haven't read too much of his newer stories, but this is just great.
