If you're picking up a Stephen King, you probably already know what you're in for, but just in case not: you could make the argument that this book is actually a good place to start. It's rooted in realism, and only gradually does…

I can see some readers being disappointed by the solution to the mystery here but there's enough foreshadowing that it's not a huge surprise - even accurately predicting the bones of the story beforehand, I had a great time and couldn't…

One of my favourites. Is you’re a SK fan I’d highly recommend reading. It does slow down a bit in the middle but once it’s get going it really gets going. Great read

very much in the style of old school Stephen King. Evil doppelganger is causing havoc and violence. Reminded me of older King books in style and storyline which I still enjoy. Recommend if you are a King fan.

One of King's better ones, especially if you prefer his more classic spooky horror stories. Very interesting premise, and though the book slows down a little in the middle, it soon picks up again. I would recommend this to any Stephen King…

The premise of this book was so wild that I had to read it. Book was just fine. Not my favorite King book but still liked it. The twist definitely surprised me and it used something from my culture that is usually never spoken about.…

I've never read a Stephen King book and it isn't my favorite by any means but wow, the lasting effect this book has on me. I picked it up because of how interesting the cover was to me, not knowing that the twist in this book would…

Not a fan of the horror genre, although Stephen King is probably the "king" in that regard, but I read this book thinking that he was applying is vast writing skills to a storyline that didn't involve supernatural beings. Again,…

I have read many works by Stephen King before and have always been intrigued by his writing style. Most of his horror stories have dark twists and paranormal activity, and this book did not shy from those details. The book was extremely…

This Stephan King novel is very interesting concerning the centre of this book is a graphic murder case, certainly not for younger audiences. As this is a murder case, King does write the lab reports made by the forensic teams and the…

I had already watched the TV series, this was so much better. The first 2/3 of this was outstanding. As I get with King, his storytelling can go a bit sidewards at times. At the end if the day another killer story from this guy.

Well, what bodes well for this book is that it clocks in at 550 pages and I hammered through it pretty quickly. so, it kept me turning pages and I'm quite familiar with the SK universe and find it generally easy reading. I didn't find too…

I've always been a huge SK fan, however a lot of his newer stuff is just so-so to me. This one is one of the better ones! Dark and twisty, loved all of it. Loved how he added Holly from the Mercedes trilogy into this one.

This was a gripping and fantastic read! A great story and definite page turner, it appeals to the masses with wonderful entertainment value. Besides a few moments, it lacks the substance of a great novel, but that wasn't what I was…
