I enjoyed the re-visit of this one. It felt too real/too haunting. I don't know if I would have been able to act in a similar way to the MC did. Like I get it, but could I? I highly doubt it.

Cleaned/organized my pantry for a big chunk of this #AudioCleaning (while drinking Bloody Mary's) - Love the new organization now.

5feet.of.fury Yum! 5d

TheBookHippie Oh this is brilliant! 5d

Rage | Stephen King, Richard Bachman

pick

‘A high school show-and-tell session explodes into a nightmare of evil...‘

Read this in January for the #LosersClub.

Starts with a shooting then turns into something that reminds me of a twisted version of The Breakfast Club. Great writing. Strange twist.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Bookwormjillk I liked this more when I read it as a teen I think. As an adult I thought it was too long and SK was a bit too much with some of the sidebars. It read very late 70‘s early 80‘s to me. Still King do readable but not a favorite. 1mo

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk 💯 could have been a short story! 1mo

JenlovesJT47 I enjoyed this and am looking forward to the movie adaptation! It is one long existential crisis that fills you with dread. 1mo

AllDebooks I did not like this. I found it repetitive and overlong. It certainly was tense and horrifying. I agree, @BarkingMadRead it would be better as a concise short story. 1mo

5feet.of.fury I didn‘t like it either. Weird side note though, there was a 20 mile race that went from Kittery Maine to Salisbury Massachusetts and goes through the part of Rt1 NH that they were on at one point. I was there once also trying to beat an aggressive time cut off 1mo

KathyWheeler I liked it but feel it would‘ve worked better as a novella. I also have mixed feelings about the ending. 1mo

ElizaMarie How will this change when the movie version comes out? I am curious to see what direction this goes - and what the movie ending will be. I enjoyed this book - I liked the boys' conversations throughout the walk and the different character developments. I agree with y'all thinking this would have fared much better as a novella. 4w

Karkar This was okay for me. Real middle of the road. It did do a very good job of stressing me out. 4w

Julies_Bookshelf_Adventures I felt like this would have been better as a novella. It had an interesting premise, but kinda lost itself for a bit. Really stressful in general, but I enjoyed the thought experiment of how psychologically and physically something like this would affect people. 4w

kwmg40 I'd read this book some years ago and, though I liked the story very much, I found it very disturbing and decided not to reread it at this time. I've always been intrigued by the real-life Swedish Fotrally race inspired by this book. Nothing terrible happens to the competitors that drop out of that race, thankfully! 4w

MatchlessMarie Late finishing this one.. is this a metaphor 🫣 It was physically exhausting reading this one as someone who struggles with daytime drowsiness reading about how tired all these guys were. 🫩 I also didn‘t realize it was being adapted. I will be interested to see the movie take on it. I really like the concept but it definitely dialed up the existential dread for me 😱 3w

The Long Walk | Stephen King

Initially read this years ago, had almost forgotten how great it was - knew I liked it, but I hadn't remembered the intensity of the boys.

It was kismet that one of my co-workers (who saw me reading) had also randomly picked this one up! So we have been discussing too!
