This book is one of those rare ones that etches itself into your soul and strikes back in unexpected moments. A reminder that no matter how normal or mundane the world around us seems, there can be darkness lurking right underneath our noses, and we are not nearly as in control of ourselves and our lives as we think we are.

For me the beauty of this book is in it's rather stark simplicity compared to some of other King's work which I found to be way too wordy and descriptive for my taste and so I wasn't really able to get into them. This one left me nowhere to hide.

I was just saying this to my friend who also read it. I like that it wasn’t loaded with boring and useless filler. It was right to the point and the dark feeling never left me as I read the book. Like you said , I felt like there was “no where to hide” King did an amazing job.
