Boring, unless you are really into mountaineering or climbing. Even as someone who usually likes history, this was a slog.
Ridiculous ending, and characters rather hard to find compelling.
The narrator was ok, though he could not make some of the characters distinct from one another while speaking which made following some conversations throughout the story difficult

Spoiler warning

While not a terrible book, i personally found it too be a bit haphazard and dull. this is due to the last section of the book being rather disappointing for both massive changes in tone and some narrative decisions. Firstly, while the earlier sections of the book were reminiscent of IT or stranger things (in part why i selected this title) the tone of the book radically changes in the last part of the book. In the beginning, its a mystery of strange events happening to and being investigated by a group of children. Whereas in the last section, it has the characters as young adults, and barely touches on any of their growth. More importantly, the book becomes fully about faith and the power of jesus, which was barely established earlier in the narrative. I found this shift a bit jarring for such a massive tonal change, as much of the talk of jesus was relegated to a few scenes in the earlier areas.
And importantly, the narrator was a bad choice, as he was not capable of sounding like any sort of child (which the majority of the characters are, so it breaks any remaining immersion in the story).
Overall, I think this book needs to be moved from horror to religious fiction, as the horror is almost negligible, and the elements of belief and faith take the book over.

Reilly fully captures the spirit of the book, and makes McMurphy feel more alive than even Jack Nicholson. would recommend this more so than the movie
