Listened to this one. Coming back to it in print for a different perspective 😌

This book is putting me in a reading slump. Usually, I'd have moved on by now, but this one just refuses to pick up the pace.

What exactly have I been doing with my life?

I've been avoiding Stephen King my entire reading life because I assumed he was horror. He's not. I mean, there are dark things happening, but this isn't horror. It's a thriller. It's a character study. It's genuinely, annoyingly hard to put down.

I have thoughts. More to come.

43 hours down, 5 hours to go, and I'm loving every minute of it.

I quite like this series.

Rereading via audiobook this time. 10% in and it's already delivering. Heavy on the science, but the suspense and the jaw-drop moments make it impossible to put down. Or stop listening to, I suppose.

This book knows exactly when to twist the knife, and does it without being dramatic about it.

I read a lot of fantasy and sci-fi, but this feels just as immersive in a different way. Instead of invented worlds, it makes the lives of actual geeks feel epic, obsessive, and strangely magical.
