The Dark Half | Stephen King
post image
Pickpick

I went into this book completely blind and really liked it! Unlike most of King‘s other work, I feel like it started off with a bang and maintained its pace throughout the entire story. I love the supporting cast here, especially Sheriff Alan Pangborn, and I think the concept of the story is a pretty great one. The ending was a bit lackluster, though, and all of the birds completely creeped me out.

Next up #readingStephenKing: Four Past Midnight!

It has been such a long week. This is my busy season at work. I worked extra long days Monday thru Thursday, so I‘m taking today off to catch up around my house and hang out with my doggos. But first, coffee and a few pages of my current read ☕️ #readingStephenKing

I liked it more than I thought I would! But it‘s nowhere near my favorite by King. Started and finished strong, dragged throughout the middle. Loved the nods to his other books & characters, IT & Firestarter especially. King is THE MASTER at taking inanimate objects and making them killers. A Coke vending machine, an Electrolux vacuum cleaner, a lawn edger-these things were out for blood!

Next in my #readingStephenKing challenge: The Dark Half!

Ev Hillman from The Tommyknockers left Haven, Maine when the town started creeping him out. He went to Derry, Maine, where other things creeped him out. !!!!!!!!!

p. 201/747: There is a point in each of King‘s books where the slow, descriptive foundation has finally been set and I feel like I finally know the characters well. Then things really start to pick up for me. From that point on, I can‘t stand to put the book down. I‘m totally there now. Still not a huge sci-fi fan, but King has my attention and I wish I didn‘t have to stop reading to “adult” (aka work) for a little while.

My current #readingStephenKing and I‘m not sure how excited I am about it. I don‘t particularly love sci-fi or aliens BUT I do trust the King!! I‘m on page 66/747, so I‘m still in King‘s usual very slow, getting-to-know-the-characters part. Short chapters make for great car reading.

Bookwormjillk This was one of my least favorites from what I remember 1mo

Oh man, this was something unexpected! I love the movie but I had no idea the book went so much further. Annie Wilkes is terrifying! This one had me gasping and holding my breath with some of the crazy scenes with Annie terrorizing Paul and others 🪓🔥 🐀💉

Also, about the audiobook: I listened to it here and there and at first, I hated it. Sounded boring! But as I kept listening, narrator Lindsay Crouse started sounding just like…

intothehallofbooks …Annie Wilkes from the movie, played perfectly by Kathy Bates, and I grew to really enjoy my commutes so I could keep listening. A very high pick for this one from the King! Up next: The Tommyknockers! #readingStephenKing (edited) 5mo
intothehallofbooks OH!! I almost forgot to mention that I was delighted to find the passage explaining Misery‘s connection to The Shining!! They take place in the same area, near Sidewinder, CO. Which is close to The Overlook Hotel 🤌🏻🤌🏻 5mo
BarkingMadRead I love when his books interconnect! He does it fairly often now,not as much in his earlier books 5mo

Sunday morning puppy snores 💤 with my book and coffee. My favorite time of the week!

I‘ve tried so hard to create characters and images in my head for this story. But no matter how hard I try, after seeing the movie many years ago, I can still only imagine Kathy Bates as Annie Wilkes and James Caan as Paul Sheldon. #readingStephenKing

“And the Tower is closer.”

This is the story of how Roland meets Eddie and Susannah, who will accompany him on his quest to find The Tower. I loved the parts with Roland and Eddie, especially in the first half of the story. Nervous, suspicious, addict Eddie, who along with Roland himself has a deadly encounter with a drug kingpin that reminded me of a violent mob movie. A ton of fun to read.

Up next #readingStephenKing: Misery!! I‘m so excited!
