Well written and the storyline kept you guessing how the characters were connected. I wish the ending was a little bit more developed, but it was a quick beach read for me.

A very interesting read that touches on a number of current societal concerns.

I like the dark because she never gives up and even though you feel like you can’t do something you always need to try and try and try again and that’s why I like Vashti and that’s also why I like the book

i read it twice

Book featuring food from another culture.

While a continuation of the Bill Hodges story (book 2 of 3) he doesn't enter into the story until the back-half. The front half is all set up; the theft of $20,000 and priceless manuscripts and subsequent murder of the reclusive author at the hands of a maniacal fanatic, the obsessive's subsequent arrest for an unrelated crime, and many decades later the discovery of the berried treasure, an apparent miracle in the eyes of a young man whose family desperately needs one. King methodically sets up all the dominos, and puts all the pieces in place, clearly foreshadowing the Rube Goldberg conclusion, but it is still an enjoyable ride. One can't help but feel like this novel is an tantalizing amuse bouche served between a particularly delicious appetizer and a potentially dubious entree; While this and the previous instalment have been straight thriller suspense (not mysteries per say as the audience knows the killers), the epilog hints that the third and final instalment will have more traditional Stephen King themes of ESP and/or supernatural horror.

it was funny

Funny hilarious and cute

Seems like a romance but delves into issues of domestic abuse and difficult relationships.
