Castle Rock season 1 should open with a warning label this season is nonsense but we totally save it in season 2 so please skip to the last two episodes of season 1. I did think of one part I really did like the murder couple they were super creepy.
I get that I liked it quite a bit and so didn't my brother, in fact we were discussing it at dinner today, it's just season 2 takes it to such a higher level it's worth watching no matter how you felt about season 1.
I really didn't like season 1 of castle rock. Felt like such a poor execution of a great idea.
Will I like season 2?
I fell off Wolves of the Calla for a bit while I was busy with work and getting ready for Thanksgiving and I started it back up and I'm maybe 100 or so pages from finishing it but man, the pacing in this book is so weird. The first 3/4 of the book take place over like a week or even less and then suddenly we're skipping weeks at a time and making a full blown sprint to the end. I was told that kind of pacing continues through the next couple of books which I'm perfectly fine with it's just how fast the story switches threw me for a loop.
Anyone play Typing of the Dead Overkill on Steam?
I made a custom Stephen King dictionary for the game. It's got hundreds of words, phrases, names, places from various Stephen King books
Download here:
Rediscovered this game when I randomly thought of it to show my friend. It's such an awesome game, don't know why I never missed with custom dictionaries before, having a lot of fun with this. Hope other King fans can enjoy!
I got Song of Susannah and the Dark Tower for Christmas and I was totally not expecting Song to be as small as it is. It's a pretty breezy read so far (not that I'm super far) I'm hoping to have it mostly done while I'm flying over the next week.
When that one character appears in the book it killed my interest in the entire series. I should check out some of the spinoffs (wind through the keyhole) as I heard they were pretty good. The last three books of the dark tower are in a massive need of a rewrite/reedit kinda like what he did with the gunslinger.
I assume you're talking aboutI was aware of that appearance well before reading even the first book.King himself?
I had no issues with Wolves honestly. I'll come back when I finish this book and see how I feel.

No way, the rewrite was a lot better. Either way, the last three dark tower books were CLEARLY rushed. I even think he admitted to it himself?it is not a spinoff it slots right in the middle of the books and deals with a part that King explored more in the comics.
NO NO NO NO the rewrite ruined The Gunslinger.
I also really hated that part of the books. Like it was a WTF I almost want to stop reading this shit moment. Glad I didn't and finished it.When that one character appears in the book it killed my interest in the entire series.

Hard disagree in all of this. The rewrite makes Roland a good person missing completely the point of the first book.
The only reason he finished the series is because he wrote what he wrote, it was his therapy.

Even though I think that is dumb I still really like the series as a whole.
Eddie is one of my favorite characters in fiction. Putting someone from the 80s in the book is such a clever way of making all the crazy shit that happens in the book super relatable to the reader. I think his story and Matt Cauthon's story in Wheel of Time are two of my favorite character arcs in any medium.
I'm pretty sure he was scared of dying/leaving the series unfinished so he rushed them out.
I agree with you about Eddie. He's my favorite character and in the final bookI cried and was devastated when he died.
The rewrite of Gunslinger is a MASSIVELY superior book than the original. The original was very very boring.
I really liked 11/22/63, although it suffers from typical King syndrome of being a bit too long in the second act and then having a bit of a rushed third act. But to be honest, King has always been great at inhabiting a place and letting things meander along, and his writing is good enough to keep me interested - especially when he's writing about that particular time period.I'm about 60% of the way through 11/22/63. What an interesting book! I'm really glad I got back into it. I'm super interested into where this story is going. (And I swear if someone develops psychic powers or something right near the end, I'm launching King into the sun.)

I read The Outsider recently, though, and it was absolute fucking shit. Woeful.
Has anyone read the outsider? I'm excited for the show and i was looking for some spoiler free impressions
Haha, excellent timing of our two posts there!Has anyone read the outsider? I'm excited for the show and i was looking for some spoiler free impressions
For me - so far - the part that drug the most was up until Oswald actually entered the book. The opening sort of reminded me of watching reruns of The Twilight Zone where they had to introduce a sci-fi/fantasy concept really slowly because audiences in the 50s weren't used to all these concepts yet so much. I'm really rolling with it right now.I really liked 11/22/63, although it suffers from typical King syndrome of being a bit too long in the second act and then having a bit of a rushed third act.

And I've definitely enjoyed the time period pieces! Don't get me wrong. I just wanted things to get actually going a bit faster.
The last thing that happened was. Some of that stuff was a little dull to me before, but I'm really invested in that plot right now.Sadie's ex-husband has shown up and Jake is on his way there
In any event, I'm definitely looking forward to finishing the remainder of this book! Sounds like I should pass on The Outsider, though, lol.
Oh yeah! I definitely liked seeing Derry, and especially the effect it had on Jake.For me the Oswald stuff was the part of the book that interested me the least. I loved all the stuff at the beginning, especially visiting Derry again!

awesome costume, thanks for doing this.
excellent taste!
Will you do the real ending or keep on reading the false ending...?
(totally not biased question)
That is the false!i'm reading all the way through. Real ending is all the way at the end right?
That is the false!
Lol
It depends on the edition, some have it after a long warning or after some notes.
you're good. you'll know when you get therewoah wait so how do I get a hold of the real ending? I have the latest edition that came out after the 2017 movie. It's aSeries of redone covers.
lol is a joke as I said I am biased for me the real ending is the first one, King says as much.woah wait so how do I get a hold of the real ending? I have the latest edition that came out after the 2017 movie. It's aSeries of redone covers.
