Roadwork | Stephen King

My #BookSpin isn't in Litsy's database, but I started listening to it today after I got home from the Renaissance Festival. I'm not really looking forward to my #DoubleSpin but I want to catch up with #LosersClub.

Roadwork | Stephen King

pick

I read this with @BarkingMadRead and the #losersclub last month.
I would classify this as a thriller but I feel it was a stronger overarching political commentary on gun laws and possibly eminent domain. In the early 1970s Bert and his wife lose their house to fair market value and a highway.
Read if you like a slow descent into madness & bad choices.
⚠️🚧⚠️🚧

🤡 Taken with the newest addition to my King collection - It duck from Five Below!

BarkingMadRead Omg that duck is amazing! Did you get that recently?!?! 1mo

PaperbackPirate Yes I just got it on Friday @BarkingMadRead ! They‘re in the checkout area and only $1. Licensed! 1mo

BarkingMadRead Omg I‘m going to check mine tomorrow 🤣 1mo

PaperbackPirate 🤡❤️ @BarkingMadRead Good luck! 1mo

Roadwork | Stephen King

so-so

This is a rather boring book. It's about Barton Dawes a man whose house is about to be turned into a highway. He doesn't handle it well, infact he goes nuts 🚧

BarkingMadRead Dude definitely needs coping skills 🤷🏻‍♀️ 1mo

ElizaMarie I didn't get to read this one - also one I had never read, so Its on my TBR to seek it out, but I am interested in reading other's responses to it. 1mo

BarkingMadRead It was not my fave, the characters weren‘t his usual, but the idea was good 1mo

BookwormAHN Also not my favorite. Dawes was frustrating 🤦🏼‍♀️ 1mo

Roary47 I need to get my hands of these stories eventually. 😬😅 1mo

KathyWheeler I read these all years ago when that collection first came out. I didn‘t remember Roadwork at all. It‘s not my favorite at all. 1mo

BarkingMadRead @KathyWheeler I know I‘ve read it before but I don‘t remember it. It made zero impression on me 🤣 1mo

KathyWheeler @BarkingMadRead Apparently it made none one either! The only one I remember well from that collection is Rage. 1mo

PaperbackPirate I thought it was a good story despite it being so dark. The main character frustrated me but at the same time I understand why he was so upset. 1mo

bailed

I've tried so hard with this, cos y'know, it's Stephen King. I have to bail. I just don't engage with the characters. Sorry #LosersClub this one is not for me.

#Hailthebail @BarkingMadRead

BarkingMadRead It happens! And really, nobody is very likable 🤣 2mo

jackilynn Definitely up there as one of my least favorites of his. 2mo

KathyWheeler I finished, but, boy, was it difficult to do so! 2mo

AllDebooks @BarkingMadRead phew 😅 2mo

AllDebooks @jackilynn so glad I'm not alone 2mo

AllDebooks @KathyWheeler hats off to you for persevering 🙌 2mo

KathyWheeler @AllDebooks 😊. I‘ve never read a King book I‘ve disliked so much before. I thought maybe the ending would help, but no. 2mo

dabbe YES! #hailthatbail 🙌🏻 #betterbooksahead 2mo

Roadwork | Stephen King

so-so

I‘ve read better Bachman books. This one, to my mind, was a bit rambling and could‘ve been a short story or a novella. #LosersClub Started The Moon Sister back up on my #audiowalk.

wildwoodreads It looks like you had a gorgeous walk! 2mo

KathyWheeler @wildwoodreads I did! 2mo

BarkingMadRead It definitely rambled at times. I think if he has published it later in his career it would have been a novella 2mo

KathyWheeler @BarkingMadRead I think you‘re right. It would‘ve been much better as one. 2mo

I‘m not really loving Roadwork, but I will finish it. It was warm today, but there was such a nice breeze by the bay that I was able to walk outside. #audiowalk #LosersClub
