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

AllDebooks @jackilynn so glad I'm not alone 11h

AllDebooks @KathyWheeler hats off to you for persevering 🙌 11h

KathyWheeler @AllDebooks 😊. I‘ve never read a King book I‘ve disliked so much before. I thought maybe the ending would help, but no. 8h

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

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! 2d

KathyWheeler @wildwoodreads I did! 2d

BarkingMadRead It definitely rambled at times. I think if he has published it later in his career it would have been a novella 24h

KathyWheeler @BarkingMadRead I think you‘re right. It would‘ve been much better as one. 22h

5feet.of.fury Ugh I have this one so I want to read it but idk if I‘m mentally prepared 😩 4d

BarkingMadRead @5feet.of.fury I feel that in my soul. This one is hard 4d

Roary47 I‘m excited, but after @5feet.of.fury and @BarkingMadRead comments maybe I should prepare myself too. (Oblivious) 🤔 3d

BarkingMadRead @Roary47 it‘s so so good, but as one of his books that could technically happen, it makes it a little rough. There‘s no sci fi in this one 3d

tpixie Poor Cujo… 🐺 3d

ElizaMarie I revisited this pme via Audio recently. I could use a relisten or a reread (I got the physical copy too) it just is so gut wretching! 3d

KathyWheeler I haven‘t reread this in decades. It‘ll be interesting to reread it. 3d

Skeleton Crew (Turtleback School & Library) | Stephen King

pan

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

Mr. Mercedes: A Novel | Stephen King

so-so

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.
