King Crusoe > Recent Status Updates

That Prologue took me way longer to read than it should have tbh. The first scene was a *fantastic* opener. Second scene was also good but the end of it was…unexpected. Third scene opens up some interesting questions. Fourth scene is solid setup for Rand’s upcoming plot in this book.

Overall, solid Prologue; still get the feeling that outside one or two scenes these last few are just too-long Chapter 1’s tho.

The part on Jonah makes sense in content, though the jump from Moses to Jonah still feels a bit strange.
The Conclusion was also quite good, summarizing everything in just 10-ish pages.

Section 8.2 was fucking PACKED man. So much material to dig through. Part 8 was very good, on par with 3 and 6 for my favorites.

Part 7 had a lot of really great stuff, and also some stuff that more or less went over my head.

Really disappointed Peterson skipped over Joseph tho. Moses is cool and all, for sure, but Joseph has got to be RIFE with cool stuff to analyze from this perspective too.

Part 6 is up there as one of my favorites. Super solid. The line editing is falling out suddenly in the back half for some reason - that’s disappointing - but the content is great.

Thru Part 5; not the strongest section thus far tbh.

But hey, finally got to continue after 5 months of nothing lmao

Wow, what a fantastic book. One very minor element I would’ve liked to see closed to a better degree, but I am super satisfied with this book.

As far as I have seen this is definitely not brought up enough in King’s early bibliography greats.

This book is seriously so enjoyable. King reads so quick too. Looking forward to finishing in the next couple days.

One chapter left of Part 1.

The last chapter of the part is 60 pages 😂

Still really really enjoying myself with this one. Definitely a sleeper hit in King’s early bibliography.

Book good

Solid start. A King palette cleanser can scarcely go wrong

3 chapters left . . . .

5 chapters left…

There are no words…

You all seriously have no idea what you’re getting into with this book. None.

Y’all

Ignore previous update; only 45%. Inputted the wrong number lol.

What the fuck, Christopher

🥲

I finished this re-read again...and this book has absolutely blown me away.

Don't get me wrong: I like EoS the first time. I liked it more the second. This third experienced felt wholly...*more*. The updated special edition text I think did a lot to carry that. Small, subtle in most ways and at most times...but actually massive with the context of the rest. I may have to bump this back up to 5 stars again....

The goal I thought was somewhat improbably yesterday ended up happening. Feeling pretty good about myself.

I doubt I can keep the pace up for the the remainder of the book, but it seems like finishing Friday is all but guaranteed...and maybe even Thursday...

(At least I'll be able to say I read/finished *one* book this month lmao)
