Stephen King Fans discussion

Ok, here's the official Revival thread. Remember to mark all spoilers. Unmarked spoilers will be deleted.

Thought it didn't come out till November 11th.

I'm really stoked for this. Darkest SK novel? Sounds really promising. After an exceptional 11/22/63 and Joyland my expectations are pretty great.

You are correct, however it was selected as the November group read, so here's the thread, all primed and ready. :)

Oh, well that makes sense. LOL

I've pre-ordered mine at B&N. Not sure if I'll get to it right away.

You should, they're pretty good about that stuff.

I am looking forward to my Kindle copy too. There is an excerpt available, if anybody wants to get a head start:

^loved it! I'm even more hyped for it, if that's possible.

Hurry up Tuesday!!

I'm stoked to read the book. But, I just went on a couple of book buying sprees. Even buying the books second hand I've spent...... well, lets just say that I don't see myself buying anything new in the near future.

I don't know what to do!!

I have the same problem. I'm #37 on the waiting list at my library.

Hmmmmm

Library! Why didn't I think of that?! Thanks, Nick!!

Yeah - they still have those! Haha

I know I know.. I actually go to my local library fairly often. It's just that I went to a book show a month ago and spent too much money then went to a thrift store the other day and spent more money on books. I haven't had a reason to go to the library and you know the old saying. Out of site, out of mind! I just haven't thought of it.

Tomorrow morning I'll see if I can reserve a copy.

My copy is already pre-ordered for my kindle paperwhite. I was sooo tempted to purchase at my local grocer because, of all places, 3 copies have been on display & available for purchase since friday! Trust me...if wasn't pre-ordered, I would've snatched me a copy. The temptation was tough 2 fight & honestly I regret not getting an advance copy. I mean really...how rare is it to get an advance copy...esp. from a grocery store!

What's the name of that grocery?! ;D

Just got my ebook copy, can't wait for my break! :)

I'm jealous of all of you and I will never speak to any of you again! Well, that might be a little harsh. I'll just wish damnation on all of your children. Is that too much? Ok ok, I'll only wish that your children have to eat ice cream every night of their lives. There! That should do it!!

LOL Nathan just went down to Dark Score Lake... (as in Bag of Bones)

My drive to work was great as I started the audio book today! Is it time to go home yet!!

Well, I just started! I'm pretty dang excited!! Cannot wait to See what King has in Store !!!!

My copy will hopefully be waiting for me when I get home from work, I'm like everyone else here, I can't wait!

I pre-ordered Revival form Amazon, waiting with pent-up excitement to start reading it today.

Wow, to think that with "Carrie" in 1974 to "Revival", SK's 68th novel, King is truly a national, literary treasure.

I walked to Target to get my copy. I'm very excited for this!!!!

Can't wait to get off work, one hour and 40 minutes and then Revival will be mine!

I'm on vacation in two weeks, so I'm going to hold off and read it then. Looking forward to it!

Been a while since I bought a book on the day of publication at a physical bookstore, but I did today! Cannot wait to start Revival!

I had the day off, so I picked up my copy this morning :) About 200 pgs in, and so far it's really wonderful, and a little dark... But fantastic character development.

It's intriguing so far. I'm glad (view spoiler)[ that he is using the first person narrative again. Is that a spoiler? (hide spoiler)]

Arrived today! So excited!!

Have to wait till this weekend to buy my copy, currently in the middle of Mr. Mercedes which is good!

Cody, I want a day off to read it too (jealous I am)! I have ready only 100 pages so far.

There's a (view spoiler)[Frankenstein vibe, which maybe shouldn't surprise me. (hide spoiler)]

I was able to secure first position on my library's hold list for Revival...I get to pick it up today! I love being the first person to crack open a library book.

Just got my copy, I'm stoked for this!

Finished this afternoon. An excellent work of classic First-Person King storytelling. The ending is exquisite, horrible and has strong echoes of H.P Lovecraft. I loved it and I know it will be in my head for a long time.

Now I am jealous !!! God knows when we ll be able to have it in Greece . Around Christmas I suppose !

I plan on finishing tonight. I'm only about 150 in, but it just got really interesting.

Page 38. I'm picturing Naomi Watts as Patsy Jacobs. Everyone else is emerging as new creations from my imagination. I really like Morrie.

Just finished it, and I have to say, it's one of my favourites. Classic King! It will haunt my dreams tonight LOL You are all in for a treat!

I absolutely LOVED this book.

I guess I will just ignore you all until I finish the book, what I think will happen by Sunday, the latest ;)

I know I am in the minority, but I actually loved Mr. Mercedes. This one...not so much. (view spoiler)[I am not understanding why Jamie feels the need to stop the Rev. I mean I know he is causing some people to have these bad, long reaching after effects, but only a very few, and he did help Jamie. I'm just not getting the whole "evil" thing with him. (hide spoiler)]

Page 93

(view spoiler)["Her blonde hair was underground now, growing brittle on a satin pillow in the dark." (hide spoiler)]

So much for that! How awesome was the terrible sermon? King is on top of his game here.

I'm even more excited to start this after reading everyone's comments! Sounds so good!!

mine finally showed up at my door step. super stoked to start reading it!

Loving it. 40% read.

What a great read. It was built up more than any book in recent memory for me, but it blew right past my expectations. That ending was something I won't soon forget.
