TieDyeDude I listened to this on audio, narrated by James Franco. It was a tough listen because Franco sounded completely uninterested. I really enjoyed the foreshadowing used by King, like the seemingly random lightning rod salesman. It was a long road to get to the events of the conclusion, but I loved the ride. I'd like to re-read a physical copy in the future; I feel like I'd like it even more without Franco's droning... 4w

BarkingMadRead @TieDyeDude ugh how disappointing! 4w

Bookwormjillk SHOOT! I accidentally got The Dark Half instead. I always mix those up. 😂

Not finished yet but I'm enjoying it. Re-read The Dead Zone a few years back and liked that too. 4w

Bklover This is one of my favorites. Not sure why, except I remember reading it when it first came out. I loved it then, (I was 19), and I still reread it occasionally. It still holds up as one of my favorites. 4w

kwmg40 Like @TieDyeDude, I disliked James Franco's narration, but otherwise I loved the story, and it really is hard not to think about today's political situation while reading this book. 3w

kwmg40 After finishing the book, I immediately watched the 1983 adaptation, which I thought was very good. My only complaint is that it was so condensed. All the plot elements were there (with some minor changes) but so many details that contributed to the character development were cut. 3w

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! 1mo

TheBookHippie Oh this is brilliant! 1mo

Bklover This is one of my favorites of SK. The characters are real and so normal. This doesn‘t feel like horror to me. It feels like a tragic story of Johnny - a guy who happens to have special powers. I think the creepiness for me is how much he could be anyone. 7y

DGRachel @Bklover I think those make for the best kinds of horror stories! 7y

BookwormAHN @Bklover I totally agree this is one of my favorites as well and it does seem more like a tragic story than horror. 7y

CSeydel @Bklover Absolutely! 7y

daena Yes @Bklover ! I can see this one becoming one of my favorite Kings too. 7y

JulAnna I read this book once, a long time ago, and was very glad to re-read it now. I had not remembered the part of the story set in Castle Rock, and it was fun to see the introduction of those characters. There is still much about the book and the commentary on the tabloid press that is still relevant. I agree with @Bklover @CSeydel @BookwormAHN @daena - it is a great, tragic story. 7y

JulAnna Also, if anyone is interested in this sort of thing, Dees-the Inside View reporter- shows up again much later in a story in Nightmares and Dreamscapes. I always appreciate the SK universe ! 🤓 7y

Bklover @JulAnna I enjoy seeing the characters show up in other books as well! 7y

Bklover @daena It‘s one of my favorites too! 7y

daena Good to know @JulAnna 7y
