Billy Summers

This story seems to drag on forever! I can't recall the last time I spent more than a week on a thriller. Despite all the hype surrounding this Stephen King book, I think I made the wrong choice for my first read. It felt like it was needlessly drawn out. I did enjoy the parts with Alice, they added some fun to the mix. However, I couldn't connect with Billy's character, so I found it hard to care about his fate. Plus, I'm not a fan of war stories, so those parts fell flat for me. It wasn't until halfway through that I felt like the story finally started to pick up some momentum. I am writing this review at about 300/432 pages because I am starting to get impatient and hoping this novel ends soon or starts to evoke some emotion in me.

Just finished reading and I think the ending is beautiful. Everything else - meh.
