I read (listened to) the last few chapters of this while walking laps in the park, a very odd thing to do given the really weird concluding chapters.This is a genuine, bona fide, 1980's King book. I haven't read anything from Stephen King for quite a while, maybe not since I finished up my first read of [b:The Dark Tower 5091 The Dark Tower (The Dark Tower, #7) Stephen King https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1372296329l/5091.SY75.jpg 6309701], unless I'm forgetting something. There's a lot to love in this book. We've got a ka-tet, a horrible villain, and genuine fear wrapped up in places and things that few writers get to like King.There are some really bizarre things in the book. Most of them are just fine. I think I probably would have left the orgy between the kids on the cutting room floor.That said, fantastic book and a fantastic narration by Steven Weber. It has me wanting to read [b:The Gunslinger 43615 The Gunslinger (The Dark Tower, #1) Stephen King https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1554220416l/43615.SY75.jpg 46575] again!
