I am going on vacation tomorrow and bought the next two issues as a treat to myself. I told myself to just wait and finish them over the weekend. But I have poor impulse control when it comes to reading. I am still really enjoying seeing “Wizard and Glass” brought to life in this graphic novel. The dialogue, the artwork, etc. is really well done. I think the best part though is once again seeing characters we have had in our heads sketched out in […]
Beginning of His Journey
So another great issue in the chronicles of the Gunslinger. Wow. Once again high marks to taking the most important parts of Wizard and Glass and bringing it to life in this graphic novel. We see that Roland’s father is not so inept that he does not realize what his wife has been up to for a couple of years now. Which kind of begs the question what was he thinking by letting it go on. I see some parallels to King Arthur and Guinevere […]
The Beginning of our Gunslinger
The Gunslinger is brought to life in this graphic novel. I have all of the feels right now. Seriously. Watching how our Roland goes from being a young boy to a true Gunslinger in this issue hit all of the high notes. Roland Deschain who will one day walk alone to the Tower, I see you. And it is wonderful. “I do not aim with my hand; he who aims with his hand has forgotten the face of his father. I aim with my eye. […]
Stephen King – even his average efforts are still pretty good
According to Goodreads, I’ve read 33 of Stephen King’s books – since getting bitten by the bug through some of his best a few years back, I’ve been slowly working my way through the rest of them. Rose Madder isn’t one of his best, nor is it one of his worst. Instead it’s a decent book, albeit with a harrowing subject matter, that would have been a lot better had it been missing its supernatural elements. Rosie Daniels has spent fourteen years in an abusive […]
Well, It’s Obviously Not a Vampire
There is a great mystery at the heart of Dreamcatcher, and it is this: I have no idea how it ended up on my e-reader. I didn’t buy it. Nobody gifted it to me. I’m not a King aficionada so it’s not as if it got lost in my enormous collection. But anyway: there it was, and for reasons that are entirely beyond me, I decided to give it a try. Let me preface this by saying I’d never read a Stephen King novel, […]
Forty-seven hours of book!
So this is a newer, more inclusive, unabridged version of The Stand. There are some extra details that weren’t in the original book. Having never read the original book, I will not know the difference. The audiobook (which I borrowed from my library and downloaded immediately!) is forty-seven hours. I’m determined to finish it in less than forty-seven days! I’m going to split up my review into a bunch of parts, because with a book this long, I don’t want stuff to get missed. OVERALL […]
