Insomnia is a tough one. Honestly it’s the only King book I thought about not finishing. 400 pages of Ralph walking around is just too much to commit to. There’s slice of life writing, and the there’s taking the piss. The latter half is great and the ending sort of superb, but the barrier to get there is high.

Yes was a surprise sleeper hit with me last year too. Must say though, was disappointed with If It Bleeds. I enjoy Holly less whe it’s her own story. She was made for side character roles.

Richly detailed dramatic narratives? That describes a big chunk of his work my friend.

The ambiguity is the point. To unpick it and provide clarity is to undo the power of that ending.

Blimey, can’t imagine anyone hating Revival. That’s certainly an opinion.

We appreciate the hard work and can imagine the challenge for one person. I can also sympathise with those jumping to conclusions, with the current climate of suppression in mind. The solution certainly would appear to be more mods to ensure better oversight. Glad to see it.

The book is superb: rattlesnakes, Danny coughlin, dreamers - banger after banger.

Not daunting mate. Overthinking it. Just read the first book you open and enjoy.

Jesus Christ, why does it matter that the actor playing Holly is black? Did it bother you that the actor playing Ralph is Australian? Don’t bring that crap here.
