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!

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.

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

Yeah, here’s hoping.
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.
Yeah I hate The Talisman as much as you but I liked this one.
I'm torn between Dreamcatcher and Buick 8 as my least favorite
