Reply to comment by Negative-Appeal9892 in I read 13 horror novels for the month of October, and here is a short pitch for each to see if you should read one! by CasualTotoro

The first half I would have had to agree, but I do think by the end I wasn’t as invested. Still probably a top 3 King book for me. I grew up with an old German Shepard much the same as Radar, so this book will always hold a special place for me.

I've found his endings just ...tail off for me for quite a few of the most recent ones - I don't know if he's just being edited more cautiously, or he's running out of steam, or I'm just nostalgic for the points where there was almost too much book left, but FT for me felt like it was missing about 20%, Revival ended in the wrong place, the Hodges ones were a little lacking in places... IDK. Billy Summers felt more like vintage King, though, albeit again perhaps teasing more than it delivered.

Yeah, I think FT could've used a bit more on the end there, but it was still a really enjoyable experience.

Yeah, I really did enjoy it, but just wanted a bit more.
