Fucking hell man. The book started off kind of slow but once it got going, it was just an incredible ride.

I'm still thinking about the end and probably will be for a while even though I really want to move on to the next book on my list!

Very often like that with Stephen King, the beginning is slow but it's imho very important because that put in place the characters and build up a kind of special relationship between the reader and the characters or locations. Then something happens and the novel become really gripping.

It's what makes his work so amazing. The insane amount of character development.
