This is my biggest regret. I loved the book, and it doesn't necessarily have to be connected to anything, but it would of been nice. Especially since it could work with so many things, DT, Carrie, Firestarter, Dead Zone, The Shining. The list goes on!
Also really weird complaint, but what was the point of replicating the children's rooms in the institute? Especially since they could care less about their feelings, and the fact that they head to back half in less than a month? It's a cool idea, I just found it weird with how "temporary" everything is
