I remember seeing an old interview with Stephen King where he said this book has a lot of warmth to it that the film lacks- and my god I understand what he means. It makes my heart ache that these parents just want to help their little boy and can't see the horrors ahead of them

Hi everyone,

He did WHAT?! HIS WIFE WAS DOING WHAT?!?!

I'm desperate for these chapters written in the different style to stop. I really want to know the end of this series but I hate this writing style and it's killing my momentum. I've done anything BUT read this book for over a week now. Here's hoping part 2 abandons the writing style and I can move forward.

Are we sure Mona is a 14-year-old girl? Her mental agility and questioning are impressive.

I have decided to start this book mostly because I was very upset about the fact that Amazon prime cancelled the show after such an intense season. Also because I am genuinely curious about what happens throughout the books. I wasn't expecting much because I have heard very different opinions about this saga. Apparently people either love it or hate is. But so far I am actually quite interested! I noticed that a lot of things are (obviously) different from what was shown in the tv show but also the writing style is quite nice. I feel like sometimes the author described useless things but at the same time the lore looks so RICH that for sure it must mean something.
I feel like this book is just the tip of the iceberg (considering that the whole saga is 10+ books) and I actually can wait to dig deeper and find out what happens!! I also hope that the characters will develop in the next chapters/books because so far they feel a bit flat ..
