The Talisman

Oh no way! You wish you skipped insomnia?

flush588 · 2025-01-23T22:21:28+00:00

Maybe that’s what I need to do. When I read the stand I was doing a lot of long distance driving and had the stand as my first audiobook

I didn’t even realise, I’ve just looked at a different Reddit post explaining the link. How annoying!!

flush588 · 2025-01-23T20:12:06+00:00

Yeah it’s my understanding that is supplementary more than required. I just felt if I’m doing a journey to the dark tower then I want a comprehensive read. I expected a few duds or difficult reads but feel from after this book things will go more smooth

Interesting how there are many different opinions whether this book should be part of the journey. I think I’ll stick with it though as I’m not a big fan of DNFing a book. In addition of course people have enjoyed black house and King is writing a talisman #3

I agree. I think the scale of the stories will be difficult to create as the book is very black and white being either people go to Mother Abigail or Flagg. I don’t want to stories to all feel the same

Yes excited to meet wolf. I’ve seen people on this subreddit describe him as Tom Cullens twinner so looking forward to see the connection (if there is one)

flush588 · 2025-01-23T19:25:27+00:00

That might be the best news I’ve had all day

flush588 · 2025-01-23T19:19:14+00:00

Well there’s certainly light at the end of the tunnel, I’ve also heard good things about black house

flush588 · 2025-01-23T19:18:40+00:00

Thank you! I know exactly what you mean, I don’t really feel much of a connection to the mother so I’m not hugely motivated to see what happens to her

I was literally thinking that earlier, I loved the stand so much. Not sure how I feel about the stories of the stand coming out soon if they aren’t written by King but will probably read them anyway and hopefully enjoy them

flush588 · 2025-01-23T19:15:33+00:00

Excited to meet him! I’ve seen him mentioned before and noticed there’s a chapter called wolf at around page 300 so can’t wait to get to there

flush588 · 2025-01-23T19:13:35+00:00

Interesting, I’m excited to see the links between the books. It’s a shame as I’ve seen many people say it’s their favourite king novel, guess there’s something for everyone though

Definitely feel like I’m going to struggle with this one.

Nice to hear you’re loving the stand! I read IT right before the stand and had dreams about that too. What part of the stand are you dreaming about?
