While the reality-based part of the plot held my interest because I sympathized with the 17-year-old protagonist, once he descended down that staircase, I couldn’t suspend my disbelief enough to engage with the otherworldly events taking place. Even though I’m a huge fan of escaping from reality, I found myself wishing Charlie would just return to the real world and leave the abominable fantasy land behind.

Fairy Tale
Too long! If there is another world you get to by climbing down a spiral staircase in a backyard shed, I hope it’s more interesting than the one Stephen King has created in this Fairy Tale.
