Stephen King's Later Book Review

My review of the new Stephen King book, Later.

[@fourthmonth1240]

I missed you! Couldn’t wait to hear your review.

[@patcoston]

Every King novel, novella and short-story repeats something from his first completed novel, The Long Walk. I counted about a dozen repeats from The Long Walk in Later. There were also about two dozen other repeats from other King novels. King can't help but repeat himself. I didn't find any blue chambray shirts, and no arc sodium lights, but there was a "nape of the neck".

Finally! The review that matters!

Frosty thank you!!!! I've been waiting!!! This books was awesome

[@donwanderley7156]

5/5 is too generous, Frosty.

i just read Stephen King's Later a day ago. It was pretty good even though the book was short. It felt like I was reading an Odd Thomas prequel novel or something

[@OrcmanRepugnant]

In fairness the ending revelation does explain why Tia would never talk about Jamie's father.

[@noneed4me2n7]

It’s late I’m bored me and the old lady are at odds so I’ll probably binge a bunch of these especially the DT stuff. Your insights mirror a lot of mine.

[@StefanSelea]

Sir, you got to pick these up. Lunch is not the same without you :).

[@TravelsTTG]

I’ve been waiting for this.

Great review! I read this book a few days ago, and I feel very ambivalent about it. Overall it was an "okay" read, but there was a lot of things that didn't work and just felt off about it....and he should've just left out the last 3 pages...that was completely unnecessary. I gave it a 2/5 star rating for the parts that I did like.

Sir When R u Gonna Review BAG OF BONES u told us yull re read it. Waiting.....

[@foreverdissenting3675]

Great review! You need to read The Whisper Man by Alex North if you haven’t yet. Right up your alley 👍🏼

[@FrostyKnives]

I did get around to reading this. It wasn’t a bad read.

I wouldn't mind a discussion video with spoilers..

What does the term HARD CASE mean? I hear the term used a lot when Americans do book reviews. Over here in New Zealand the term means something that is very funny. I hope the master (SK) follows your YT channel because the info is very good. I Love your channel, your the best at what you do.

[@FrostyKnives]

Thanks for watching! Hard Case Is a publishing company that published hardboiled crime novels. Hard boiled crime is typically gritty crime novels where the protagonist has to deal with a criminal typically associated with organized crime in a justice system that itself is corrupt. Their usually violent and gritty novels with blurred lines between right and wrong. Hope that answers the question!

[@kelviannaepperson3677]

The back of the book had me like wow. You're leaving us in suspense with this one

[@brianirvine6978]

100% felt the same about the IT connection. I wonder how someone who's never read IT would take from this story. Perplexed no doubt!

[@cosmicbenignity8346]

i always watch your videos for your reviews, not SK, so i will watch whatever you put out. :)

[@patcoston]

I wish I could do videos in one take. My last video had about 25 scenes and it took me about 5 takes each so basically 125 takes, which I had to then edit together. I spoke so slowly, I would stretch words, and have huge gaps of silence between words, and lots of umms and uhhs as filler. I had to edit all of that out. I probably had over 500 edits. It took me 3 days to shoot and 3 days to edit. I also had to edit our stutters, changing my mind mid-sentence, licking and smacking my lips, the sound of me inhaling, and the sound of my keyboard clicking. I also had to blur personal stuff I accidentally showed in my video and the sound of my keyboard clacking. It was an edit nightmare which took me about a week to make one video.

[@FINALSTANDFOLEYOFFICIAL]

Yayy, really hoped you would review this book. Just grabbing the popcorn.

[@RonboHerr]

I think the reveal at the end would have been better if it was left just at the initial reveal - where he left us thinking, "wait, what?" "was he really...., or...?" The following chapter where he went on trying to confirm things, lessened it for me. I think leaving it ambiguous would have been better.

[@adamrenfrow]

I loved Later. Nice review btw.

[@joelgarson4107]

Missed ya man! Clicked on the video asap

👋🏾FrostyKnives13, I love your videos.💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@lisag8052]

Yesss I was waiting it during past time

[@TGBahr]

I was a King fan back in the day, and still like a very few of his books very much. Quite a few however are completely destroyed by sprincling and sometimes interweaving political ideology into them. It not only lessens the value of a novel, I think it utterly robs it of all genuine truth and magic. I enjoy your reviews, watched quite a few of them.

[@melanieandbookstacks]

Great review as always. Thank you. I’m currently knee deep in House of Leaves because I saw it on your channel. Hmmm thanks? 😂 Have you read it yet?

[@FrostyKnives]

Thank you. I have not yet. I would be interested to hear what you think. I am honestly slightly afraid to start it.

[@melanieandbookstacks]

@@FrostyKnives It’s not as challenging as I thought it would be. I’ve got about 300 pages left and I’m ‘enjoying’ the experience so far. I haven’t thrown it across the room yet anyway.
