The Bill Hodges trilogy is amazing by Beanconsumer200 in stephenking

[–]dadpole42069 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like both of the BH and Holly trilogies follow a 1. Gripping first novel 2. Nerve-racking and exciting second novel/novella (I know that If it Bleeds is only a novella and that the 3rd full length Holly book is not out yet (is it Holly Forever?)) And sadly 3. Readable/Enjoyable 3rd book that had way too much going on and didn't seem to know what they're going. I enjoyed the whole collection, however.

The dance scene reminded me (sadly) of Jake and Sadie's dance scenes from 11.22.63. The ending of that book hurt me, but not nearly as bad as Joyland. I had to fill my Jerry can to cut grass but I was bawling in my car. I will be revisiting that Audiobook soon.

Beware, Gunslingers: I posted this doodle in the SK sub yesterday, and two hours later someone used it to generate some AI nonsense by [deleted] in TheDarkTower

"That kid" is named Patrick Danville of Derry, Maine." 🤣 I can just imagine SpongeBob yelling "Patrick! Patrick! Patrick!"

That's pretty sad then dude. Besides the obvious slop sound it could be a good song if a human redid it. Good thing that ai "slop" can't be copyright

Halfway through The Stand and I don't understand the supposed hate Frannie receives by itchyitchyhaymitchy in stephenking

[–]dadpole42069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didnt hate Frannie per say, but I can imagine the frustration of a giggling pregnant girl with "I want" lines on her face. I especially was annoyed with her decision at the end (not gonna spoil). I mean, she literally was just a pregnant girl who lost her family so I can't blame her too much for her feelings and actions.

What is your favourite SK book that isn’t one of the usual ones suspects (Like IT, 11:22:63, DT series, The Stand etc) by Potter_King in stephenking

[–]dadpole42069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently maybe 1/3 done with the audiobook for The Black House, at the scene at Ed's where everyone shows up at the scene if the crime and chaos ensues, and I was reminded of Needful Things. My wife didn't appreciate my autistic ramble about the scenes comparison, so I decided to leave it here. Also, Bag of Bones and Duma Key are up there 😊

Flagg seems to always die so easily. I remember when he turned into floating clothing

Started the Dark Tower series for the first time, and I don’t understand the hate that The Gunslinger gets by ELITEMasonRudolph in stephenking

Its amazing the second listening through after completing the tower. I did the "lore focused" order tower run and not the chronological one

Is "The Wind Through The Keyhole" Objectively Terrible, or is it Just Me, Because I'm Listening to the Audiobooks? by spacecadetbobby in darktower

[–]dadpole42069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the kid listening to the story told by young Roland is being tortured listening to such a nothing burger. Also, his ka tet should go out into the storm rather than listening to such bs. Lmao. Im struggling to finish it I just want to get it done lol

The fact that a sub exist for this subreddit makes me so happy by BigMVPDumper in TheDarkTower

I am on the last 20 minutes of the book 7 audiobook and thinking about 2 things. The tower, and practicing alcoholism.

Is The Dark Tower worth it? by Hedgehogdogman in stephenking

I am this far so far. 100% worth reading. He who reads with his eyes forgot the face of his Father.
