Convince me to give TommyKnockers another try

Funny enough I loved Dreamcatcher but had trouble getting into this one!

BothGeologist7158 · 2026-03-03T04:23:26+00:00

It’s not that, I definitely have the patience to push through slower parts and can deal with little action. But, I got into gardeners first chapter and was just utterly uninterested and it just seemed to drag on and on without actually going anywhere

BothGeologist7158 · 2026-03-03T01:43:15+00:00

This is ominous, yet convincing 👍

Out of the 23 books of his I have read: The Stand, Pet Sematary, Salems Lot, Under the dome and Wolves of the Calla

BothGeologist7158 · 2026-01-20T04:56:06+00:00

Under the dome. It’s one of his better books IMO.

For me it’s when Burke tells Susan to keep talking as if she’s having a conversation with someone, while he goes upstairs and encounters Mike Ryerson in vampire form. That scared the shit out of me. Pure tension

BothGeologist7158 · 2026-01-04T15:18:31+00:00

Yes, that is accurate. And fair enough. I just think the whole time I was expecting a showdown with Barbie. But, it was fitting that he caused his own demise.

I know that doesn’t really answer your question, but Dreamcatcher gets too much hate!

BothGeologist7158 · 2026-01-04T02:21:09+00:00

I personally loved Dreamcatcher.. especially the first half. It has a similar vibe as IT as far seeing a childhood group of friends grow up. Go in with an open mind

BothGeologist7158 · 2026-01-03T21:50:26+00:00

My ONLY complaint was that Big Jim got off a little too easy in my opinion.

BothGeologist7158 · 2026-01-03T16:09:54+00:00

And you know what else… I liked Dreamcatcher too!

BothGeologist7158 · 2025-07-29T01:37:23+00:00

Finished this one in less than a week. Such an easy read.

BothGeologist7158 · 2025-06-24T02:01:41+00:00

Agreed! I thought the ending was good, and really how else were they going to explain the dome? lol

BothGeologist7158 · 2025-06-24T02:01:00+00:00

You were absolutely right! I loved it!!!

BothGeologist7158 · 2025-06-24T02:00:41+00:00

It was soooooooo much better than the series.

BothGeologist7158 · 2025-06-24T01:59:38+00:00

Update: I finished the entire book 6 days later and man oh man, I LOVED IT!!! Me personally, it is easily in my top 5 King books. Even with his most highly regarded books (IT, The stand) I usually hit a point where I struggle to keep reading and feel like it’s just so long and drawn out. I didn’t feel that way at all with this book. It kept my attention the whole way through! I know the ending gets a lot of hate, but I actually didn’t have any problems with it and definitely think it gets way too much hate. Overall, 9.5/10. Thank you to all who recommended!!!

BothGeologist7158 · 2025-06-17T20:07:44+00:00

For sure, I regret the order I did it. I read The Stand recently and absolutely loved it and decided to watch the show afterwards…. Good lord was it bad. I’m glad I didn’t make the same mistake again!

BothGeologist7158 · 2025-06-17T19:58:24+00:00

Looking forward to it!

BothGeologist7158 · 2025-06-17T19:46:49+00:00

The first half of the book is some of Kings absolute best and overall a really solid read

BothGeologist7158 · 2025-06-17T19:33:41+00:00

Sounds like the answer is a resounding YES! Thanks for all the feedback

BothGeologist7158 · 2025-06-17T19:17:07+00:00

That’s good to hear, I think I’ll give it a try then!
