I was counting down the days to get Holly when it came out. Have been reading Stephen King for over 35 years, have read almost everything at least 2 or 3 times (except e-books, hopefully they will be published for real sometime). In the 35 years there was only two I could not read again. Liseys story and Danse Macrabe...now there is a third...and I think would top that list.
Writing is Kings workplace, and like everyone else's workplace, leave your personal political and religious beliefs at home, no matter what side of the fence they are on. Very distracting, and was not really relevant to the story. Remove it all the story would be the same, but a pretty thin book.
That being said , Holly moved me to write my first review ever...very disappointing, I only hope it is never made into a movie, as it would be even less tolerable.
