Well, a Stephen King classic, that's for sure. The characters were nicely portrayed and their development was believable enough. Especially some of the major characters, like Larry Underwood or Fran Goldsmith, and Harold Lauder. Somehow the "enemy" Flagg was not as impressive and memorable to me tha...

I love that it was Key & Peele that reminded me of the "magical negro" in this book.Also, this book is epic, with a huge cast of characters and some straight up evil. I had this ranked as 4 stars, but now that I think about it, it was totally a 5.

I'm still a tad uncertain about Stephen King. Sometimes I see him as a misunderstood genius on the verge of literary greatness; sometimes he strikes me as a hack genre writer with no filter. The Stand didn't help me solidify my opinion, not that my opinion on the issue should matter. Regardless of K...
