I'm a huge Stephen King fan and have read everyone of his novels. I got this book for Christmas in 2022. It took me over a year to finish it. Every time you turned around it was "did you get the jab, okay you got the jab so you don't have to wear a mask." It was like nails on the chalkboard to me. Had it not been a Christmas gift I wouldn't have finished it. Leave your political views out, get back to basic horror and you'll win a lot of us old fans back.
