And King does this brilliantly! Just like in Pet Sematary (which still remains my favourite King so far) the grief plays such a strong role, stronger even at times than the supernatural element. And like Pet Sem, if it was a book only about ghosts or ancient burial grounds, or in this case awakening with pre cognition after an accident, it would fall flat because those things have been written before. Its King's brilliant character writing that makes it so good.
You really feel for Johnny & he's one of the few truly good, kind guys. Which is what makes it such an emotional read since you really connect with him. Just a guy who's rolled double zero in life & luck and now has to deal with consequences. Halfway through I honestly couldn't imagine where it was going to go or how it was going to end but by the time I did finish it I couldn't imagine it ending any other way.
