DNF.
Beyond bad. Total waste of time, full of filler and nonsens; no suspense. Just.. bad. Started okisch but. Just .. no.

God. I forgot 1/3 of this book is a recap of the previous books. It’s annoying as f#

Not bad at all! But I can see why people dislike it after the first. This authors vibe is very different. I like it so far

More my jamb! No more describing all the little fishies ..

I’m sure the Nautilus is a Tardis. Yes. It must be 😁

And now I have to read Jules Verne! 😜

😎

I long hesitated to read this book; it would hit home.. and it does. BUT Kings prologue in this one tells how the story came to be and who it was written for. And well that changes things a lot. Yes it’s a bit confrontational and uneasy but if it will do what King says? It will be worth it 🤞

Must read

Now this is an audiobook! 5 mins in and it’s amazing 🤩

Okisch

The stories are great! The kindle one, the car and the picknick one are my favorites. That said I don’t like short stories; feels like they end just when I start to get in the flow of them. I’m also mixing them up a lot. Some are really really short. For me this book takes a lot of energy to listen to.

🥱 very disappointing .. only read this when you enjoy hack/slash things with little plot, no character development nor adventure.. hell it’s not even sci-fi. It’s just bad.

Good! The lists are boring but they do get the point across. Must read

For a “global” created book, it’s very .. US centric 🥱 pretty boring atm

Ok. The it’s getting VERY annoying all that chauvinistic American stuff. God it’s boring at times. Like the fate of the world really depended on the .. assassination of Kennedy. I mean! Common. No. Disappointing.

Great! I love books that have hidden Easter eggs and are connected to others; but not obvious like a series … you’ll know.. if you’ve read them. They really create a pocket separate universe. King is a master of that.

Time for a re-read

Spannend!

Aha! Guess I found THE inspiration for soooo many other stories. From the hunger games to squid games to black mirror.
I should have know 😁 😏

Well it’s a kids book..

Nice little fairytale- that certainly inspired a LOT of other stories. Excellent in the dramatized version!

Must read if you want to understand the world we live in today a bit better

Reminds me of Dan Carlin; different style but very very good.

The more I learn about our history, the more I see that things just stay the same. Other forms maybe but the same non the less. It’s crazy how little we are taught. Understandable but still.
