Roadwork | Stephen King

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 🤣 2d

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

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

AllDebooks @BarkingMadRead phew 😅 2d

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

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

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

dabbe YES! #hailthatbail 🙌🏻 #betterbooksahead 2d

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! 4d

KathyWheeler @wildwoodreads I did! 3d

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

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

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

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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

AllDebooks I had to bail on this, too much for me, along with The Long Walk! 😱 7mo

BarkingMadRead @AllDebooks it was a lot, and knowing that he pulled it from the shelves added a little weight! 7mo

Karkar What always surprises me about this one every time I read it is back when he wrote it school shootings were not a thing. But you would think from this book he wrote it today. 7mo

5feet.of.fury Yeah, that was nuts. I can see why he pulled it after Columbine (and the continued epidemic of school shootings) with the way Charlie is presented in the end/showing the impact on the hostages as positive. 7mo

BookwormAHN @5feet.of.fury That always bothered me too. It was almost cult leaderish. 7mo

5feet.of.fury @BookwormAHN agree! Cult leader is what came into my mind, too. 7mo
