He did the absolute best with what he was given, he put his all into it. King wrote a story and hid it real deep in a bunch of garbage for us to pick through like raccoons. I didn't like her in this role but many readers seemed to enjoy her introduction. After Holley is introduction into this book it seems to take a turn and never gets back into a believable storyline. In that story she played an essential part in the mix of characters. In this case he throws in Holly Gibney from the Mr. It has all the ingredients of Kings best novels, a really bad guy ( the outsider ) and the good guys hunting the bad guy. The outsider is a typical SK story and is well thought out and suspenseful. But in this book he toned down is political rhetoric and it's not distracting to this story. In the past few years he has become political in his books and it has been a huge turnoff. I read or listen to everything I can when it comes to Stephen King and he has been my go to author for almost 30 years. Will Patton did a wonderful job of reading this novel.
