pickI am not okay. I love a book that destroys me. Wally Lamb develops his characters in such a way, that despite their flaws, you feel the deepest empathy for them. He manages to fill you with incredible sadness while also giving you hope. I‘m emotionally wrecked and I expect to be haunted by this one for a long time.
Listening to a new book!
pickOf course it‘s a pick. I don‘t think I‘ve ever read a Stephen King book I didn‘t like…or at least that I couldn‘t find aspects of to like. Ostensibly a whodunit (to a degree), this book is also an examination of the human condition, the lies we tell ourselves & others, the emotional toll of working on death row, racism, the abuse of power, & wonder & hope & the possibility in the seemingly impossible. King just knows how to tell a good story.
Somehow, I have never read this or seen the movie...going to fix that right now.
pickI finished this story from Different Seasons on my walk. I still like it, but it‘s really too long. I also wasn‘t really rooting for Andy as much as I do when I watch the movie. Up next in this collection is Apt Pupil. #audiowalk
Another Wally Lamb book that breaks the heart from the very first page...
pickA great story of how simple mistakes can turn into major tragedies. One of the through lines I appreciated most, that hope is always good, but expectations are problematic. An emotional and thoroughly worthwhile journey.
