The writing is so matter-of-fact and the story so textbook, yet I am enjoying every word.

This memoir was suggested by a coworker. I am very glad I am reading it. Learning a lot outside my middle-class white male bubble.

A little rudimentary in its hero’s journey narrative, but so far a fun fantasy tale that is by the numbers.

REALLY struggling with this one. I thought about marking as DNF, but sticking with for now. Presently would rate this 1 star. A few points had led me to possibly increase the review to 2 stars, but then it dips back to 1 star after a few more pages. Ugh.

Not really my cup of tea (pun intended) so far. I will keep reading, however, in case it turns around, as I enjoyed Morton’s other novels immensely.

This climax going to be epic.

King turns the dial up to 11 in about 30 pages after page 500. So much action is happening I can hardly keep track. Some

******SPOILER*****


“main” characters have been killed off in a shocking fashion. Wow…just wow.

I am unsure what to make of this story. It seems disjointed yet ironically connected.

This book is very different from other King book I have read. The antagonist almost seems like the main character, but you go dozens of pages within reading about him. It is almost like Castle Rock the place is the main character and the people are just playing side-parts.

The very descriptive train lingo is losing me a tiny bit, but I am still heavily invested in the characters and overall story.

This entire series is epic. Loving every silly exciting page.

Has a different start than other books by King I have read. This intrigues me.

Almost done! Great story, even if almost 1,300 pages.

Enjoying it immensely. Sad it is almost over.

Pace slowing down a bit, but at page 1,057 that is expected.

So good. Hard to put down.

The writing is rudimentary but the story is captivating and characters multi-dimensional. I HAVE to know what happens next.

I cannot put this story down.

This ridiculous series has no right to be this entertaining.

Just got “Carl’s Doomsday Scenario” by Matt Dinniman via hold at library. Only have three weeks to read. So going to pause this book while I read that one.

A unique take on the “good vs evil” fantasy trope.

Definitely a book I am going to revisit.

Story is captivating as ever over a thousand pages in.

Interesting premise of do or do not…there is no try.

This pragmatic take on climate chance collective action is giving me hope for the future.
