I gave this an extra star for how butt-hurt it made the maga losers. I hope everyone of those people raging about this book bought a copy rather than read it at the library. Stephen King is old and rich enough to alienate a good chunk of his audience and I hope it was as satisfying as I imagine it to be. I'm not a shitter user, but even I know he posts all the time and his views should not have been a secret. The only people who complain about politics being injected into everything are people who are aggressively shitty overall and try to mask their abhorrent views as "just political views".

With all that being said, he does mention covid a lot. A lot, a lot.
