I really enjoyed this book and it started off very fast paced with lots of character development. However as I got deeper into the book it began to lack the same pace. The ending was disappointing and anti-climactic. I liked the characters and how they reflected on themselves.

I really enjoyed this! I do think it was too long and lost momentum at the end (it also just became more action-y that I necessarily wanted), but the first third especially was just ENTHRALLING and I could not put it down. For sure interested to read something centered around Holly as well.

Like all Stephen King books the second half was pure nonsense, but I really did enjoy how the mystery was set up at the beginning, even if it was a little obvious.
