Dreamcatcher: A Novel | 
so-soI loved the start of this book, it started so strong.
The four main characters are all developed so well with their own personal qualities. Beaver has his "beaverisms" for example.
However, around the halfway mark it starts to fall apart and becomes confusing and repetitive. I believe 200 pages could have been easily shaved off.
It's a great concept, just poorly edited.
KathyWheeler I feel the same way about this book. It also felt like one giant fart joke because there was so much of it in the book. This is a book that makes me say, βStephen King needs a more ruthless editor.β (edited) 1mo
Gissy Totally agree. It was so nonsense at the endπ 1mo
Pikathulhu I'm eager to get to this one in my King read-through. I first read it the year it came out and was massively disappointed; I'm curious to see if lowered expectations change my feelings about it. 1mo

TheNeverendingTBR @KathyWheeler Completely agree. 1mo
TheNeverendingTBR @Gissy It's unfortunate because the start of it was perfect. 1mo
TheNeverendingTBR @Pikathulhu It's one I've put off for years but I want to read all of his books and I made this my 65th read of his. 1mo
Gissy @TheNeverendingTBR Yes. But I‘m going to keep my edition. It an old hardback and I love the coverβΊοΈ (edited) 1mo
TheNeverendingTBR @Gissy Oh definitely, I wouldn't dream about getting rid of my copy. 1mo
jamield1993 One of the only Stephen King books I struggled to get through, I found it a bit of a chore towards the end. At least you're another King book down! 1mo
The_Book_Ninja Sorry to King fans but βI believe 200 pages could be shaved offβ can be applied to all of his novels 1mo
