Shocked. No use of the N word. 
BUT leave it to King to add other problematic thinking nonetheless. 
More interesting than I thought it would be, but written as to sympathize and root for Charlie. Which felt too much like a incel wet dream sequence especially the reaction the classmates have. 

Such a fascinating read but minus 1 star for Herbert's homophobic and sexist takes. 

Started out promising. But towards the end the stories gotten a little underwhelming to me. One I straight up disliked a lot. 

This was not what I expected.. and I'm not sure if that was a good thing? 
May be better on a 2nd read, but there were parts I didn't particularly enjoy and where I flirted with DNF'ing, so I won't be re-reading this anytime soon.

Geez this was such a chore to get through. 
Points for the beginning, the end and Cosca.
