While looking up what a night knocker was to understand the first couple chapters, I found a comment that said this was an older story set in the 70s or 80s with random parts that felt copy pasted to make it fit into current day.

After reading, I don't have a doubt about that. There are a variety of weird disjointed bits that don't quite fit. I don't need to go into specifics. You'll know em when you read em.

And then there's the kids.

Stephen King is one of my favourite authors. But man... He cannot write children. He can't.

Although all of the young characters are likeable, they all speak like my mother wearing a sideways hat and an Adidas jumpsuit.

It's an okay book to pass the time, but won't be staying on my favorites shelf
