I did not anticipate enjoying this novel at all. In fact I started it only because I had the copy on the premise that I was going to bail after 50 pages as I am not an avid King fan. But I found this to be an excellent read! I thoroughly enjoyed reading every bit of it and it may have sprouted further curiosity into some of his other writings. Not a dull moment. Great from start to finish! Great if you‘re into government conspiracies.
