Constant reader here...but after the last few books always having a political undertone and bashing other political views from his own, I can honestly say this may be the last book of Kings' that I ever read. It makes me sad as I have saved/bought all of his books for over 40 years. I finished the book, but wished I would of skipped it as multiple times I thought I would just toss it in the garbage. Too much covid and incorrect statements..like if you are vaccinated you cannot get covid? Too much politics trying to be pushed down the readers throats and haven't we had enough of that already? Certainly does not make reading enjoyable, no matter what side you lean to.
