This was a tidy, if suicide-heavy, end to the Hodges (and Brady) trilogy. I wish the telekinesis aspect had been explored a little more... Like... He could do it with the devices but also without them? There also weren't as many cop/crime details, which is fine w me honestly, but I guess having read The Outsider first, I was hoping for some exploration of how they figured out whodunnit. Not Bill Hodges' problem, I guess he was more focused on revenge 😂
Oh well, looking forward to moving on to more of Holly's adventures!

There’s multiple scenes of suicides or attempts, two I am kindof spoiling because they are graphic/disturbing: first involves an overweight girl and it’s VERY body shaming/fat phobic. The second graphic one involves a gender non-conforming/transgender teen (they never confirm the character’s gender but it’s stated that they’re AMAB) but anyway they kill themself in front of their transphobic father and it’s beyond disturbing. I cannot stress enough, if suicide is a big trigger for you do NOT read this.lydiavsbooks's review against another edition

That said, I have to acknowledge the problematic elements, mainly King's n-word count of 9 in this book alone. Its obvious enough that the mass murder is not a nice guy, without needing to include slurs, it's just unnecessary and uncomfortable.
Also please never write the word 'amazeballs' in a paragraph of prose ever again.
