This book had everything I like in it:
- A good storyline
- Good characters who can create an emotional bond with and that are relatable.
- A thrilling page turning writing style.

Everything was amazing for me for half of the book. Then the supernatural elemenent was introduced and that's when Stephen King lost me.
I went into this book with loads of expectations and with an idea of a more realistic book but, unfortunately, that wasn't the case.
I guess that's entirely my fault for asking the book to be something else than what it is. However, I think that if King would have committed to a “normal” resolution to the problem, I'd like it a lot better.
