Pros & Cons
Pros
It's not his horror genre, but a great adventure story with his knack of drawing you into the lives of people you grow to care about. As he navigates this perilous place, king weaves themes of good versus evil, showing that our choices shape our moral... Read More

Charlie makes a foxhole prayer for his father's sobriety and his prayers are answered. Charlie’s quest brings him to the magical world below our own. Eventually, charlie decides to risk his life for a miracle cure for the elderly dog.
Cons
Once the book enters the supernatural realm it gets less interesting. It just gets repetitive and boring. Most of the antagonists revolve around lovecraft which has apparently become a religion.
This book is a hot mess. It appears that he isn't producing quality reads, only pumping out pages for $$ that isn't worth a read. I’m pretty familiar with sk stuff and this book doesn’t even sound like his voice.

Highlights
Quality
This book was so detailed and amazingly creative as all of steven king books are.
Sk books are a big investment time and mind wise, so i really only read one every few years.
However, it is too thick and heavy for airplane reading.
A couple of slow places but stick with it!
Price
This isn’t one of my genre of books, but i had opportunity to read it at a discount price and it’s a stephen king book.

Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Not in the way that perhaps i will go back and reread it over and over again but in the way where a story you read stays with you long after you’ve closed its pages and you think of it fondly at random times for years and years later
