Hopped out around the spoilers, but absolutely loved hearing your thoughts on this one. I first heard about this story becaus my parents watched the show, but for some reason I truly had no idea what it was actually about lol. Bummer about the ending, especially with this pagelength hahah

I read Cujo, too! Probably when it was first published. It was also one of my favourites! Funny how certain details stand out in one’s memory and for me it was the woman’s husband’s character (I think) affectionately describing a beautiful mole on her thigh. King is fantastic at descriptions of all kinds! I only read the book once but do not remember that there were no chapters. I thought about possibly reading it again as a refresher, but then you kind of spoiled it all. 🤣 Thanks for your review and I’m glad to know someone else read and enjoyed the whole book as much as I did!

Carrie is the first book I read by Stephen King many years ago and it grabbed me right from the beginning! Of the few I have read by this author it is also my favourite. I liked Carrie’s character and her superpower. Thanks for doing this review!

I love all of them, but some more than others. A brief explanation about the ranking of each entry: Drawing of the Three: I just feel it’s a perfect novel, not much to comment here. A real page turner. The Wind Through the Keyhole: For me, this feels like a really strong novel by itself, but also as part of the whole. In my DT re-readings I love to read it between books 4 and 5, it feels like catching one last breath and entering the rabbit hole just in time for things to get REALLY weird. Also, between two novels about meta-fiction and people telling stories, it’s only fair that we get to know how fairytales -the true art of telling stories- feels in a post-apocalyptic arthurian western setting like Gilead. Song of Sussanah: It’s so abstract and disjointed… but every sub-plot and multiverse mythology interest me and I feel here it’s where every character in the ka-tet gets to grow. Once I start reading this novel, I can’t stop until I finish it. Wizard and Glass: If this entry were only the flashback, it would be number one on this list. But it’s not only the flashback. Not a fan of Charlie the Choo-Choo being a part of this novel, where it has nothing to do with… anything really. Love the Oz part as a concept but not really in execution, too rushed. The Gunslinger: Loved it since my first reading, so weird even for King… not the best, but definitely good. And it really gets better in second reading. Wolfs of the Calla: Strong meta-narratives in here, every ka-tet member has lots to do, I really appreciate Callahan’s backstory… but I feel that Mejis has a way superior execution than the Calla in getting to know every light and shadow of a small town. The Wastelands: I’m sorry, I know Wastelands it’s everyone’s favourite. For me, the Lud part it’s almost perfect, but the first half of the book with Jake and Eddie and the key… I always get stuck there, it does not click with me at all. I also don’t appreciate that the book does not have an ending. Sorry, that’s not what a cliffhanger is, it simply doesn’t end. The Dark Tower: I adore the ending-ending. Simply perfect for this series. A lot of mixed feelings about the rest of the novel. Some things are really good, other are not… I just feel that there is so much going on even for such a long book, some parts needed more pages, others way less.
