I love King's style and cold character design - that saved the book for me. 

The first instalment had me hooked with the settings, the characters and the sheer vulgarity of it all. This book could be a standalone title. As of right now I do not understand why I needed to read 550 pages in what could have been told in 250. 

I hope the next title "Dead" picks up the pace.
