Started July 2017.
This is a whopper of a book and quite a tricky read, I think. I kept picking this up and putting it down again, so did not actually finish this until January 2019! I did get a bit bogged down in the middle, and even resorted to the audiobook for a while.
Although I am glad I finally finished it (for a reason I will come back to in a later post), I do not think this is one of Stephen King's best books (and I have read quite a few), eventhough it is one of his most well known.
BEWARE: This is not a book for children. Many children are drawn to this book, as I know from my years of experience as a school librarian, particularly because of the film and tv adaptations. However, this book is full of violence, much of it sexual, and dark horror. Please read this yourself before considering giving it to a child to read.
