Two of King's books are on my favorites list, so I am a fan. However, he is one of those authors that I either love the book or it's meh. This one definitely didn't leave me with anything worthwhile. I wasn't exactly bored reading it, but, at the end, I just didn't see the point of it all. The only interesting thing about this novel was the quantity of characters. I really can't remember the last book I read that had this many. He even lists them in the beginning with a short description. I'm always ready to try another one of his novels, but for now I'll move on to Joe Hill, who I just recently learned is his son.
