Such a page turner. Building up constantly, without interruption, until the (even more) exhilarating climax, which (fortunately) I was able to read in one sitting, letting me enjoy it along with the conclusion in one single reading session.
I liked the book. But I do prefer when Stephen King doesn't do too much fantasy (I'm talking about the genre).
It reminds me of the “Dark Tower” series.
I struggled through this. I thought the idea was great and it had a few moments that kept me engaged where I didn't want to put it down, but for the most part I found the story dragging and my mind wondering.
