I just started Black House. The beginning was rough... Peter Straub is not as readable as King... but whatever.
That is rough, I had to listen to get through it.
And yes Erin...Lisey's Story gets a little better but I am almost done and I must say, so far its not on my top 10 for sure.
Yes, it was. It was just an excerpt of the finished novel though. I liked it alot. :)
I'm about a third (maybe less) of the way through DREAMCATCHER, and I like the book so far - although there is one event that just does not ring true IMO no matter how much I try to justify it to myself. I hate when a major character does something pivotal that I flat-out can't believe. It pulls me out of the story in a big way and I almost have to force myself not to abandon the book, which is really disappointing when I've been enjoying the book thus far.
Regarding LISEY'S STORY, I agree that it starts out rather slow, but I felt it gets better the further you read.

Yeah the start of that one is rough, though I don't blame Straub for it so much, I remember how unbareablely boring IT and The Stand started out.
What has King written since Cell? I stopped reading him after that, Cell was just too terrible, well it was good until the last 5 pages, and the rest of it just can't make up for it. It was a very predictable disapointing SK ending.
Cell just bored me from start to finish.
I didn't make it 40 pages into the Cell.
I'm reading a southern chick lit book at the moment, Between Georgia. I needed a little break from bleak, depressing books.
DREAMCATCHER, Part I, SPOILER:

I was highly disappointed that SK didn't come up with something more plausible. 06-27-2007 11:43 AMJeanoh yes. Oh yes. I think I kinda - what is the Freudian term - suppressed it? I kinda tend to forget that every time I think about Dreamcatcher (though how one really forget such a thing?) 06-27-2007 08:15 PMFrunobulaxLisey's Story. . .slowly.
Thus Spoke Zarathustra for what must be the 3rd or 4th time now. 06-28-2007 12:05 PMkithereal 06-28-2007 12:45 PMTvmorbidCurrently reading The Last Continent by Terry Pratchett 06-28-2007 10:36 PMBriceI'm currently rereading W&G, The Gunslinger and reading a few Harlan Ellison books. 06-29-2007 02:04 AMDarkthoughtsRereading The Wastelands and really having to revise my favourite DT book - I'd forgotten exactly how great these stories were.
I loved Lisey's Story, but I seem to like the ones that everyone else finds a bit slow going...for instance Insomnia...I've heard various people say it was too slow but I loved that too. 06-29-2007 11:06 AMMattI am so close to finishing Liseys Story...maybe tonight. 06-29-2007 08:45 PMErin 06-30-2007 07:09 AMMordred DeschainI'm currently reading the Weekly World News, something about babies living on the Titanic...
