Marc *Dark Reader with a Thousand Young! Iä!* is starting
Next up after my second-least favorite King book ever (Dreamcatcher), it's the sequel to my absolute least favorite King book (The Talisman). Yippee!

Marc *Dark Reader with a Thousand Young! Iä!* is on page 115 of 661
It took a hell of a while to get through part I. There’s a distinct narrative style, done well but damn is it wordy. The slow pace isn’t a problem (yet) and it’s fine so far. Relieved that it’s not a drag like The Talisman (yet). My theory is that Straub is doing most of the writing here.

Jason Pierce Luckily this one is sooooooo much better than The Talisman, at least I found it so. I hope you do too. Good luck.


Rich Stoehr I'm thinking I should re-read these before the third book in the series comes out later this year. 'The Talisman' is among my favorite King books too, but I remember very little about this one except feeling weird about the narration style.

Grack21 Yeah I hate The Talisman as much as you but I liked this one.

Kaitlyn I'm torn between Dreamcatcher and Buick 8 as my least favorite
