Discussion Leader: Amber Whitehead
Attendees: Amber Whitehead, Ed Stewart, Robert Allen, Will Gordon, DeVon Green, Darren ?

What we liked about this book: We had a great discussion around King being able to do so much storytelling within such a limited setting.
What we didn’t like: Though we were willing to give him a little grace on account of this being his first novel, King’s treatment of women and sex were still put us off a bit.
Verdict: Three thumbs up, two sideways
