Holly

Holly was a pleasant yet weird experience, to say the least.

I define it as weird because I lack a better word for describing how engaged and immersed I felt while reading this book. I usually can’t remember most characters of a book by the time I finish it because most simply don’t matter or aren’t explored well enough for me to care but during Holly I felt strongly for their pains, celebrations and even sadness. In terms of character development this is probably one of the best books I’ve read and I’ll definitely read the other books.

I saw lots of complains about too many mentions of COVID and politics but that felt more like additional context and insight on their personalities.

Overall a very good read and possibly a good (soft) introduction to Stephen King.
