I thought it was great the book is enthralling. What really stood out for me in the book was the use of reality and truth which makes his writing feel so real. First the child being punched by his mother and then later Richie Sawyer raping his wife repeatedly after discovering she had been cheating. The scene where Richie put a double barrel in Cory Bryant’s mouth and he shit himself felt so real to imagine. I think it’s his use of true aspects from life that make it easier to buy into the story. I’ve heard all over that you have to write true or honestly and that really showed in his writing here. The suspense which is built from the beginning of the book is terrific as well. Phenomenally well written book the subtle hints toward Bram Stokers Dracula is nice to see as well. I think it really reads like great modern literature. Would definitely recommend this one I learned a ton while reading it and it was also a fun read.

P.S. any input on what I should read next? I was thinking either the shining, finishing wind through the keyhole (and the rest of the Dark Tower Series), or finishing Don Quixote (I think it’s really great, but I took a little break from it and read ‘Salems Lot).
