I have put off putting up the review for a few days while I tried to get my thoughts straight. I am so sure read this years ago and that I loved the film too but I couldn't be certain. Therefore when buddy read were starting this I was so looking forward to it.
The beginning was so hard going, very repetitive especially with some of the metaphors that if I hear them again I may may choke someone. I really thought I was going to give up.
However as I got into the book it did get better and started to flow a bit better in my mind. There was quite few differences from the movie so if you have seen then it that certainly doesn't mean there won't be surprises.
I loved some of the gorier scenes and without spoiling it for those who haven't read the "lawnmower" section being a favourite of mine.
There was definitely a creepy feeling to being locked up and at someone's mercy that made me want to get up and out even though that is something I struggle with.
Overall I did enjoy but I am taking a short break before reading a few others that are on the Stephen King buddy read list.
