My thoughts

4/5stars Great events turn on small hinges. One of [a:Stephen King|3389|Stephen King|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1362814142p2/3389.jpg] 's classics. The premise is very entertaining, the way the characters are written is amazing. The bind this group of kids share, their TK and TP abilities very beautifully described. Sane people don't sacrifice children on the altar of probability. That's not science, it's superstition. Despite being a 600 +pages chunky book, I was so invested and it did not feel like a stretch, (the way some of the other King books are). I was very hyped up to find out how it's gonna end because the set up, the 500 pages worth of build up had my hopes HIGH. But the ending was kind of a let down, I expected more, more of action? More that how it ended. It kinda fell flat for me. I'd still give it 4stars for the mere entertainment that buildup got me, the whole two different story lines happening and the way they connected: Classic King. It came to him, with the force of a revelation, that you had to have been imprisoned to fully understand what freedom was. In a nutshell: One of the better works of this author, def recommend.
