At over 600 pages, it is the longest King novel I have read (at least at the time of the review). I want to make clear, the book is by no means bad. I actually think it has very nice descriptions and the characters grow on you.
Nevertheless, I found it hit and miss because there are some chapters where not much happens and they take a long time. You realise that King wanted to give it all more life, but sometimes it was repetitive. These are the moments when I counld not get on quickly and put the book aside several times.
On the other hand, there are also chapters that are told in such an exciting way or contain such gripping conversations that you can't put the book down. If you are prepared for it to slow down in places, then this is a real recommendation.
