Rage | Stephen King, Richard Bachman
post image

Can't tell you how stoked I am to FINALLY have a copy of Rage to read so I can continue my Stephen King chronological saga. This was a hard one to find. Thankfully MelCat came to the rescue because a used copy of this book ran anywhere from $500-$1250 online 😵‍💫

CaffeineAndCandy I think all of the characters from Desperation were in the Regulators , at least the characters had the same name as the characters in Desperation. Yet I couldnt find the correlation of the two stories aside from the fact that the mine and the city of Desperation were not far away from the city in which the story takes place. The characters were different ages and had different occupations from those in Desperation. 🤷🏽‍♀️ 4y
TheNeverendingTBR Definitely preferred Desperation 4y

BookwormAHN I listened to the audio version and in the intro King was clearly not happy about the movie version. I was wondering if anyone has seen it and what were their thoughts on it. I really enjoyed the book. 6y
DGRachel @BookwormAHN I didn‘t even realize there was a movie based on the book. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I‘m also curious if King has liked any of the adaptations. I know he hated a lot of the earlier films, especially The Shining. 6y
Karkar @BookwormAHN I did not realize it was a movie either. 😮 6y
Readingismyescape @BookwormAHN I watched the movie after I read the book. It‘s completely different. In the movie Richards was a soldier who disobeyed orders, escaped prison, then was recaptured and “encouraged “ (read: forced) into being part of the game. Also, the hunters looking for him were cartoonish characters with gimmicks that he easily “got rid of” (read: killed). 6y
Readingismyescape I listened to the audio version and was annoyed that the intro revealed the end of the book. ☹️ 6y
Readingismyescape Also, in the movie there are three other contestants running at the same time. That Schwarzenegger has to save (when he can). 6y
Readingismyescape I enjoyed the book. I can see a similar premise in many of the popular ya dystopian books of the past couple of years. The book‘s ending was quite abrupt which I had forgotten about. It‘s kind of jarring. 6y
BookwormAHN @Readingismyescape I was also annoyed that the ending was revealed and how abrupt it was. 6y
Readingismyescape @BookwormAHN Right? Why reveal the ending in the prologue. At least include a spoiler warning. 🙄 6y

DGRachel @JulAnna No worries! You‘re all set to comment when we have discussion and you can always go back to the Cujo discussion at any time! 6y
SconsinBookyBadger A couple weeks late, but I finally made it to the library to check it out! 😄 6y
SexyCajun Wait March 18th for discussion? 6y
SexyCajun Oh it says it started in February. Whoops 6y
DGRachel @SexyCajun Yes - each book has a month to be read before I post the discussion thread. I know it can be a bit confusing, but I don‘t know how else to phrase the posts and I‘m using the template developed by the original host. We‘ll discuss this one next week and reading starts for a graphic novel & The Gunslinger 3/19. I give a reminder for the following month‘s read in case people need time to obtain a copy. 6y
SexyCajun @DGRachel The Bachman Books. I'm confused on why some explanations say it's someone else's work. 6y
DGRachel @SexyCajun Whose explanations say they‘re someone else‘s work? My understanding is that Richard Bachman was a pen name used by Stephen King. They‘ve even republished a lot of those books with King‘s name on the cover to sell more copies. Now, I‘m going to have to go Google...😂 6y
SexyCajun @DGRachel ok I must've misunderstood or just flat out didn't know!!! Actually I did NOT know that he ever used a pen name!! Son that explains it😳😳😳 6y
