C, all I could say is meh

May 16th 2026

This is a horror of another kind; no monsters or ghosts, no killers and no shadowy shapes. Just boys growing up, feeling impotent in their helpless years, boys being bullied, ill treated, neglected and antagonized. It's life in a little town; it could be yours or mine, it could be anyone's. And that makes it relatable and all the more realistic. Although I prefer King's scary tales the best, this novella is still an excellent read

I just can't. I don't know what it is about his writing I. This is the second book I read by him and I hated it. I tried so hard to follow along but I have to reread so I'll need her parts of the book to try to figure out what the hell was going on. I don't know if it was just the way I read. I am dyslexic so I don't know if it was just a me problem and the way. I was reading or what. But either way I just hated reading this one. I could not fall along. There are so many points like it would change up a little bit and I'd be like wait what overall not the story for me. I need to keep trying to read some of the stuff to see if I can find something like that. But for this being the second book and at the being a novella by him, I still did not like it.
