It's been a long time since I've read them, so I don't remember where it was mentioned, but it is. I know it's mentioned more in the last book, though.DancesWithWerewolves wrote:Finished Song of Susannah last night. It's....right next to Wind Through The Keyhole at the bottom. The one thing it has above Wind is it at least had me amused occasionally.
Also, I noticed in some trivia it makes mention that Pennywise being one of the 6 greater demons in that book...but I didn't catch that at all. Is that some hardcore between the lines shit that's hidden among the many many long conversations? I know I saw the Turtle mentioned a few times, but didn't catch anything about Pennywise. Perhaps because the book was so bad (for King) that I just started glazing over many spots.
Starting an acquaintances' book because I promised I would put up an amazon review. Supposed to be a YA novel, but as a zombie-apocalypse setting. It's called The Awakening.
Finished it. Up there with Moonraker and Casino Royale for the best of the books, imo. Solid all the way through.DancesWithWerewolves wrote:From Russia With Love

I read it in high school and I honestly cant remember the affair. The Deep is also very goodDancesWithWerewolves wrote:Reading Jaws, a little more than halfway through.
Basically just passed the really cringey Ellen/Hooper affair. Book was going pretty good (even if a little different) until that dump of about 50 pages.
I'm also disappointed Quint's intro so far is not at all like his intro in the film lol.Headhunter wrote:Personally think Jaws is a pretty terrible book.
It’s been a long time but I couldn’t believe how much I disliked that book. Characters felt a lot less alive and there is so much pointless bullshit in there. Spielberg stripping it down and building around the characters was such an improvement. Has to be the best example I can think of where the movie is leaps and bounds better than the source material.DancesWithWerewolves wrote:I'm also disappointed Quint's intro so far is not at all like his intro in the film lol.Headhunter wrote:Personally think Jaws is a pretty terrible book.
Yeah, I mentioned I wasn't going in to read this expecting it to be anywhere on the level of the movie. I'll still see how it pans out, but so far this Hooper/Ellen affair BS really, really, hurt the book. I mean, 50 fucking pages building up them flirting and eventually shagging at some motel? It's not even a big book, so that's a pretty big chunk taken out for that.Headhunter wrote:It’s been a long time but I couldn’t believe how much I disliked that book.

Finished. So far the worst of Stephen King's works I've read so far.Tiggnutz wrote:40 pages leftTiggnutz wrote:Didn't really care for the first 2 stories hopefully it gets betterTiggnutz wrote:Its actually a collection of short storiesTiggnutz wrote:Was supposed to be starting Misery but it didn't arrive in time for my beach trip and I like to read at the beach.
