3.0

I knew this would be my least favorite book in the trilogy as soon as I read the synopsis.
Telekinesis? This is everyday life. I figured Brady would be coming back in the third book since Hodges was obsessed with him in the second book, and Stephen King doesn't normally do things for no reason, but come on.
The best part about this trilogy was the possibility of something like this actually happening, and the telekinesis ruined that for me.

The repetition of what happened in the first book was also annoying. We were told an unnecessary amount of times how it was actually Holly who put Brady in the hospital. We know. Even if we didn't read the series back to back to back, we knew what happened after the first time it was mentioned. No need to repeat it every single time someone brings up the almost-disaster at the concert.
