This book felt a bit different from many of King’s tales in that while the (kinda spoiler) ending felt sad it was also uplifting. Also no odd explanation of WHY the character went on his particular journey, which can sometimes feel clunky (i.e., “It”). Some things need to stay a mystery.

Thankfully (maybe?), I had read other King novels that live up to his reputation before I read this because this was an absolute disappointment. I found the plot initially interesting and was curious to read more, but then it just became absolutely stupid and I couldn’t believe that I was 1) reading a King novel, and 2) still continuing to read this book. I kept reading to see if it got better at the end, but it didn’t. I felt like I wasted my money and my time with this. Like others have said, it felt incomplete and something that King just published as a throw-away to get publishers/agents off his back before the next masterpiece.

First time King made me cry. Just what I needed while waiting for his next full length novel. No one strings together words quite as effectively as the master of prose himself.

Great book. Easy read. It may be fiction but it hits on some reality. I would recommend this book to anyone.

Very good read,couldn’t put it down once I started,short by King standards,but very well done 👍

Stephen King is one of my favorites. He’s an amazing writer.

Great Novel !

Learning to make peace with whatever horror life throws at you isn’t a bad lesson to take to heart; eventually, we all drift off alone into the void.

King’s stories have always been strange but this book is really out there but not in his usual good way. $10 for basically a pamphlet. Didn’t know he needed the money that bad. I live in progressive city so the whole LBGT thing comes off as something out of the 1950’s and more far fetched than the crazy weight thing.

Very disappointed. Less than 300 pages, cost $9.00 , very corny story and ending.
