Chapter 36. Forgot to update yesterday

Chapter 34. Trashcan Man!

Chapter 29. I never disliked this book but I am at the point where it’s getting really REALLY good. I’m so glad I decided to finally walk this long path. And knowing that I will revisit this world towards the end of the dark tower books makes it even better.

Death, dying, and devastation. All of the characters we’ve been following are all facing different challenges. So far they all are just lucky that they seem immune to this disease. My guess is soon they will have to face real challenges as they fight for their own survival.

Still just slowly creeping along. The characters now know something is up because people are dying around them. Eerily similar to early Covid days and this was published in 1978 which is crazy King was able to think up what would happen if something like this actually happened. And it did, in a sense. Not to the devastating conclusion that I assume this book rises to but the early days at least seem very 2020-esque

Chapter 22. Things seem like they’re starting to ramp up. Still a long way to go but I think I’m starting to see where it’s headed.

I now understand why I saw people asking if these characters and plot lines ever come together. I’m not that far in and none have anything to do with each other.

I’m really liking it but I’m really glad I have the audiobook because it’s moving ssslllooooowwww. Which is not necessarily a bad thing. I would just like to be able to finish it some time before 2026

Forgot that I bought the audiobook years ago and found out that it synchs with my kindle book. This will make getting through this 1,300 page novel a lot more manageable. Loving it so far, though. A lot of build up and character development, but it’s done in an enjoyable way and you know it’s leading to some but stuff.

Made it to chapter 5. Seems eerily familiar to something that happened a few years ago 😐

Made it to chapter 3. Good so far. Slow but we’ve seen 3 people die of whatever this flu/illness is already. Ready for more! Story that is. Not death.
