I mean... is swearing really the only thing that's bothering you about this book?
Asghar Abbas
King is pretty creative in general and particularly creative when it comes to profanity. Just ask Annie!
Nick Garza
Fuck yeah, it does.
Jim Iverson
Yes, it's a book for adults
Alan Braswell
Even a two year old curses.
Flavia
This is not a serious question
Lee Osborne
I think if you're genuinely bothered by this, King is not for you.
Andrew (Protector of the Tomes)
Basically EVERYTHING king writes has swearing. A LOT OF IT
JackH
YES! It has a lot of very graphic and well written deaths. Enjoyed it, but I probably will never become a doctor. Blud...
Miki
It includes a lot more than swearing, thats for sure...
Antonia
Yes, it isn't used in an offence way though. There is a good amount of swear words, but that shouldn't stop you from reading this fantastic book!
Benji
It does, but not excessively.
Madeleine
I'm 9 chapters in and yes, I've come across some swear words. It is in noway distasteful though.
Kate
Yes, but if it makes you feel better one of the main characters gets yelled at by his wife when he swears
Sam Bacon
F**k yes it does.
Nicholas
Yes, but he tries to avoid blasphemy, purposefully misspelling G!&@?#m
Kattia
How different is the book from the movie? Hated the movie
Dennis Kenton
Um . . . yes. There is.
