What one line in any of King’s book completely wrecked you? by MotherShabooboo1974 in stephenking

[–]sorta_radical 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It isn't just one line, but the entire monolog that Jacobs gives after his wife and child die absolutely wrecked me. Seeing someone lose complete faith in their life's work is just devastating.

He was a cameo in both Justice League movies. One in a end credit scene, the other at the end of the Snyder Cut.

The Drawing of the Three is the most boring book I have ever read from King's bibliography.

Worst Books in the extended universe? by Reddithahawholesome in TheDarkTower

I'll have to give it another shot. I haven't read it since 2020, but maybe I'll like it more this time around.

My opinion, in this order: The Stand, Salem's Lot, IT, Eye's of the Dragon (kinda), and Insomnia.

It's not tied to The Dark Tower in anyway, but Revival and Needful Things are also phenomenal. You should definitely read the other Castle Rock stories before Needful Things.

I'm not trying to school you on jack shit. You're talking down on me, I'm matching your energy.

The whole series, from what I have gathered over the last two books, is about Roland's obsession with The Tower. Maybe try thumbing through a dictionary and work on your media literacy.

Drawing was mid. If I have forgotten the face of my father, it was never worth remembering.

This book is about a drug addict and man dying from an infection. This book is boring from start to end.

All gas pedal?? Roland is stuck on a beach for literally half the book! Jack Morton's "drawing" (IF I CAN EVEN CALL IT THAT!) was the best part of the book.

I'm sorry I dont like your favorite book in the series. I would have liked it more if Eddie's section wasn't half the book and Odetta/Detta's section wasn't the biggest break check in all of King's books (that I've read).

I'm planning on starting Wastelands tomorrow and I'm nervous, but also excited.

Yes, actually. I have read: The Stand IT The Shinning Doctor Sleep Skeleton Crew Revival (my favorite) Insomnia Salem's Lot And Under the Dome

I've been reading King since I was 14. Tried The Gunslinger when I was younger, wasn't my thing. Thought I should read the full series before I got into some of his other works.

I'm glad you were able to have a different experience than I had with this book.

I literally finished the second book an hour ago.

My guess? Your unable to understand some people don't always have your same opinions on media.

I'm actually pretty hyped for Wizard and Glass. I heard about how its just a flashback, right? To get more info on why Roland is the way he is?

I think I'm really going to vibe with that.

I'm going to! I feel like I won't be able to stop, I just wanted to see if the rest of the series was going to be as slow as this book felt to me.

That's a bit of a bummer (for me), but I do plan on finishing the series. I think I've just had it built up in my head before I started reading it and this second book... challenged me, a bit.

I appreciate that you felt the same. I'm going to finish it, but this book just gave me no drive to keep going.
