Final thoughts: This novel was so well done, from the plot, the pacing and the characters; it all fit together so seamlessly. King didn’t spend time boring us, like he’s prone to doing in past novels with inconsequential background or story. This stuck to our main plot and our main characters, and each character added was added because they served a purpose, even if it was just a small role. For the most part, these characters were unlikable (minus Dennis and Leigh probably) and they were purposefully made that way and again, King did a great job of creating them. It might have taken a bit too long to completely understand Christine, her possession and her motives, but in the end it worked out and left us with an ending that was unexpected and really well done. The reader is surprised by the open ended-ness of the epilogue that a sequel was never made. It probably would never be as good as this is, but it was set up perfectly for a new revenge story to come out of it. Overall, a great story that had the reader on their toes the entire time and had them fully engaged from start to finish.
