Stephen King has a knack for finding horrors in the mundane and masterfully combining them with the woes of a white-collar worker. I think I prefer the book over the movie for doing a better job at bringing its characters to live.
| Positive: | Negative: |
| Relatively simple but flowing prose | Doesn’t really attempt anything extraordinary |
| Immersing, spooky atmosphere | Not particularly scary |
| Interesting, relatable characters | |

I’ve been meaning to start reading some of King’s books. You said it wasn’t very scary… Would you recommend it as a good book of his to start out with? One that’ll ease me into his scarier novels?

I never found Stephen King to be particularly scary, but I guess this is one of his less scary books.
Might as well start with it, or give Dark Tower and Gunslinger a shot which aren’t even horror (but then they are also pretty different from his other works in general).
