I loved this series. My favorite Stephen King books of the last decade. ( )

I found this book a more enjoyable read than book 2 of this trilogy, possibly as there were less separate stories. I found the idea of the almost comatose patients ability to somehow take over other people's brains to do his bidding quite implausible but went with it for the storyline and the ending was as it should be. Thankfully this trilogy wasn't too scary ( one of the reasons I have never read King before) but it was quite gruesome in places but I can handle that. I will probably read more Stephen King as I like his writing style, the books were very easy to get into. ( )

In the words of the great Jake Peralta: noice.

I really enjoyed the other two books in the series and I'm currently wishing that I've read all three in a row. As it is now I've forgotten the finer details of the plots of those, but End of Watch does a pretty good job of catching you up, so it wasn't confusing or anything.

No spoilers, but the "twist" at the end of book two pays off in this one. I'm not sure if I should be mad about that or not, but since it made for a good book I had a hard time putting down I guess I'm not allowed to complain.

I wish we'd seen more Jerome in this one because I really like all three main characters, and especially when they're together. Holly is the best though. I think we've seen enough smart and weird and socially awkward dudes as characters, but not nearly enough women like that and she's like a breath of fresh air.

Oh, and Bill. #heartbreakemoji I will speak no more of it, but you'll see it coming as soon as you start reading the book.

The Swedish translation was full of typos and seemed very rushed. Extremely annoying. ( )
