My favorite of the Bachman Books. and the most underrated imo. never have i related to a story, especially to a character, like i have with Barton George Dawes. i'm not sure if thats even a good thing but it is what it is. separation, divorce, death, losing everything. "when it rains, it pours". for a novella, this story is deep. the characters are so intricate they could almost be alive.

ᴇxᴄᴇʀᴘᴛ ꜰʀᴏᴍ ᴡɪᴋɪ: Roadwork tries so hard to be good and find some answers to the conundrum of human pain." King also described his disappointment with the work, and stated that he was of two minds about having it reprinted, but decided to in the end in order to give readers an insight into his personality at the time. In a new introduction to the second edition of The Bachman Books, King stated that he had changed his mind and that Roadwork had become his favorite of the early books.

i really think it does a great job in describing human pain. this story is so real in a sense that this sort of stuff happens with imminent domain and thats another point in which Roadwork sheds light on. i am happy that King decided to print and i agree with him on this being my favorite of The Bachman Books

thoughts ...?

I read Roadwork for the first time the summer before last. I thoroughly enjoyed it and believe it is deserving of any and all praise it gets.
