Fantastic story . Maybe a bit lacking in his main characters descriptions , I couldn't picture them . Really would have liked an end with more hope . Stephen King thank you for rekindling my love of books

Superb book as always from Stephen King, loved this and in a way it makes you question the possibility of this. How everyone is so obsessed with technology and phones, and that one day, they may just be the end of us.
