I probably should rate this higher because it's a classic, but while it's certainly inventive and original, it's just really not for me. A major point seems to be, as he says in one of his "adrift" sections, that none of the soldiers in the war reall ...more

A lot more bitter than the film adaptation. There's nothing redemptive about John's death, really, and Paul Coffey, as much as he is a good man, is clearly suffering. He doesn't even consider it punishment, he just considers God indifferent. The raci ...more

Imaginative book, but plot is nonsensical and definitely a product of its time. It demonstrates more of ERB thinking, but apart from that, things like "time being meaningless" are just ridiculous on the face of it. Also there's an unhealthy amount of ...more

Beautiful book. Hilarious, with a plot that keeps moving and is endlessly surprising without being confusing. This is my first acquaintance with Brandon Sanderson, and while he doesn't seem very deep, he's VERY engaging. ...more

Stephen  King
“Might as well try to drink the ocean with a spoon as argue with a lover.”
Stephen King, The Drawing of the Three

Stephen  King
“Where you think I’m goan?’
‘Well,’ Eddie said, ‘what was behind Door Number One wasn’t so hot, and what was behind Door Number Two was even worse, so now, instead of quitting like sane people, we’re going to go right on ahead and check out Door Number Three. The way things have been going, I think it’s likely to be something like Godzilla or Ghidra the Three-Headed Monster, but I’m an optimist. I’m still hoping for the stainless steel cookware.”

“Roland could not understand why anyone would want cocaine or any other illegal drug, for that matter, in a world where such a powerful one as sugar was so plentiful and cheap.”

“I’ll loosen the ropes a bit if you’ll be still,” Roland told her. “Suck shit out my ass, mahfah!” “I don’t understand if that means yes or no.”
