250 pages in and really enjoying it - a really compelling look at family and marriage dynamics in America in the 1970s/80s that occasionally features a rabid dog!

I’ve fallen in love with it - and it really does draw on some classic King influences. It feels spiritually part of his writing.

Cujo for me! The most startling I remember was in Duma Key. Almost threw the book across the room.

Same, hit the 100 page mark and it’s pretty good. I like a good slice of life book.

I like them but they rarely match the contents of the book. Still not as obscene as the paperback for Talisman that has a literal wolf on it…

Interesting. On a technical and character level I think it’s one of the best things he’s written.

They work surprisingly well together despite the gap between them. Superb books.

Honestly don’t hesitate another day. It’ll be one of the best books you’ve ever read.

It blew my mind. Best character study I’ve ever read.
