[Joey]

Desperation, The Regulators, and Wizard and Glass are some of my favorite Kings books!

[Julian]

Which would you recommend to read first, Desperation or The Regulators?

[Joey]

I feel like Desperation should be first. That's how I read it.

[Julian]

Took your advice and read Desperation first. A fantastic read, real page turner, definitely up there in my top King books. Now on to The Regulators.
