I was mortified for both of them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malfatron Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 So this stretch of pages was focused on charlie giving the old man a sponge bath, them watching the voice together (charlie even downloaded a couple episodes on his laptop with no commericals!), and the old man wanting to go to charlies football games but charlie doesnt want to play football because he is the most selfless person who ever exisited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malfatron Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 So far, its the worst stephen king book i ever read, but its still well written and very clear and visual of whats going on. But to be fair, its the 17 year old kid writing the book, so maybe hes an unreliable narrator and really a POS in real life and is just twisting the events Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripping off another writer? Surely, we aren’t talking about the same Stephen King? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ty21 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Taking a little break from Stormfront. Dresden’s perspective is just grinding and none of the characters have any amount of depth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyers0909 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Going through the Dark Tower series again. I made it to book 6 before the pandemic on my commute to work and stopped once we started working remote. After that I think I want to read some Brandon Sanderson. I've never read anything of his, is there a recommended place to start? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
