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!

PS was my first King book too. It's amazing. It's probably in my top 5 books of all time.

He's such a good storyteller. Is IT on your list? My personal favourite.

I'm so jealous that you're just getting into King's work. You have years of books to read ahead of you!

I just wish I had started sooner!

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.
