•MY REVIEW•
•Category 1- cover & description•
The cover and description are good.
5/5
•Category 2- word choice, punctuation, grammar, spelling, sentence & paragraph structure•
This is one of King's earlier novels. It doesn't seem to have the variety of word choice that he does now. Everything else in this category was excellent.
18/20
•Category 3- plot, setting, background/stories, characters•
The plot was good. The setting was amazing. I did like all of the characters, but there wasn't much there. Most of his character seem to lack emotion.
25/30
•Category 4- writing style & pace of the story•
Stephen kings writing style is amazing. The pace of the story was a little slow in the beginning. It seems like there should've been a sequel to this book or this book should've been longer. The ending wasn't very good for a standalone book.
13/15
•Category 5- details & descriptions•
I pictured everything very well. The character descriptions were lacking a little bit.
17/20
•Category 6- originality & overall creativity•
Super original. I love the town and I love the concept of the book. Of course, there are other books like this one.
