I'm 14% into this, and I'm thoroughly enjoying it.
I sense some more dead bodies around the corner, especially now that Junior has officially been given a gun. (No spoiler here, mates!)
There's only one thing more dangerous than a woman (or man) with a gun - and that's a woman (or man) without a sense of humor. Both can end a party pretty quickly!

Fortunately, Stephen King writes with a sense of humor, especially when the characters are as crazy as hell. And there's a LOT of crazies in this novel.
