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.

I finally finished it! It was a slow start for me on this one, but the ending was good. Over all, a 3.5/5

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.

Mostly mediocre short stories cobbled together by the publisher from other sources (magazines, etc). King provides an Introduction and Notes with some insights on many of the stories. The novella anchor, The Mist, has a great premise--a bunch of acquaintances from a seasonal summer town are trapped together in a grocery store while *something* outside gets closer and closer--but completely fails to deliver.
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
The focus was squarely on the villain and the violence he perpetrates which was reminiscent of the very worst of true crime. The adolescent shock talk and wink-wink, nudge-nudge references to his other creations and pop culture was just annoying. The plot was decent. This just isn‘t for me.
