As it pains me to give a Stephen King book 2 stars but I couldn't make myself give it any more.. This certainly wasn't a good start for me with the author I really had high hopes for it..

It started very good though.. A man confessing to the murder of his own wife.. I had an instant feeling that I was reading the book backwards starting from the end where the killer admits his sins..

This book gave me a constant feeling of disgust all along the second half of it.. It kept talking about rats in its most awful ways that I think I have gained a new phobia out of it..

Nevertheless, I kept thinking to myself if he gave up his winning card from the very first page then there's surely a plot twist waiting ahead of us but there was nothing..

This book certainly wasn't my cup of tea I was disappointed yes but I'm not willing to give up on Stephen King just based on one read.. So till we meet again..
