Can't wait to hear what you think of it.




Unfortunately, I have to agree with you. I thought the setting was well done but I wanted the plot to go further. A lot of the plot was just the "lore" of the place and not too much happened in the present. I felt like I knew what was going on a little before it was revealed and then it just kind of played out. I also thought it was pretty repetitive. Noemi had repeated thoughts about characters and the whole "snake eating its tail" was really over used

We all read it together last year. Very early King "Shop" vibes.

I've also read two and really liked both.

[Brian]

I started Ghost Story by Peter Straub a couple days ago.

I loved The Talisman, and I liked Black House. The only other Straub I read was "Lost Boy Lost Girl"; I wasn't a big fan.

I heard Ghost Story is supposed to be one of his best. Definitely a slow burn so far but I really like his writing style here. Straub loves using colons

His car had been in the underground garage in central La Sentencia, at the only building that could possibly be considered a high-rise… five stories tall.
Sounds like where I live, Pueblo, CO lol

currently reading The Stand. Almost halfway through. i think Nick Andros so far is far and away the best character. I feel like the Randall Flagg dreams they're all having are becoming repetitive. Wish we had more back-story on him so far

Have you seen the 90s mini-series? Rob Lowe played Nick to perfection and I never see anyone else when I reread now.

I believe there's more backstory on Flagg in The Eyes of the Dragon

I am about to read Desperation. I found a second hand paperback edition. Is it worth it?

I think Nick Andros is one of King's best characters ever, even after his use of characters with disabilities has come in for criticism.

Very much worth it, just don't hold it to the same bar as The Shining; Rose the Hat and The True Knot are among King's best villains.

I've not read nearly enough Elmore Leonard! I've only read The Switch and Rum Punch. They were awesome especially Rum Punch!
