I sort of appreciate this book for trying to tackle a lot of difficult themes and topics, but it doesn't tackle them very well. and I really spent a lot of time reading this book thinking about whether a book has to tackle themes well and maybe it does and maybe it doesn't because maybe it's okay if books sometimes show how messy our civilization is. Also I had previously read The Outsider and I was aware that Holly was apparently a popular character but I couldn't really tell why from that book. It's definitely clear in this book. she's a very engaging character in this book. if I ever get around to reading any of the other books in this series, it will be because of her. I agree with a popular review on here that says that King is better at writing horror than thriller.
