This book certainly had flaws, but they were forgivable, as it was such an engaging read. It was a book I thought about when I wasn't reading it, and brought me fully into the protagonist's world.

I came to this book as a person who's read 9 or 10 of Stephen King's novels, but none written since the late 80s. So I'm not a die-hard fan, but I have enjoyed his work in the past.

I paid the extra 2 bucks for the "enhanced" e-book edition, which includes a 13 minute video about America in this era. It wasn't worth it. The video didn't add anything. But I was glad to be reading a digital version of the book, because I frequently consulted Wikipedia for information about some of the historic figures and incidents in the novel.
