Ratings and reviews

A great short story by Stephen King there hasn't been a single book of his that I haven't liked

I really enjoyed the book, but I feel as if more could have be been added to it. Either way, I recommend it.

It's Stephen King, what else is there to say. It may be a short story but it twisted so fast I had to reread it in order to wrap my head around it. °°03.32amCST°°10.04.2022°°E.A.E.°°
