Cell *SPOILER*

[Wiggum]

Well, we share common tastes in Ender's, The Road and ASoIaF.

I loved them all.

It also seems that as more time passes that people who read The Stand for the first time seem to like it less and less.

Cell seems to have become one of the most divisive books as far as King fans go.

Half seem to love it with reckless abandon, and some, like me, seem to think it was a paltry effort at best.

We're both right, just amazes me the difference in opinion.

Then again, I LOVED Lisey's Story, .

You know what they say about opinions.

[KESpires]

I gave up on Lisey's Story.

I intend to read Duma Key pretty soon, after I finish The Stand. Have you read Duma yet?

[Wiggum]

No, not anytime in the near future.

I'll pick up Duma when I hit my local used bookstore and it's there.

Why did you give up on Lisey's Story?

Did you get to the first blood bool, and the question of why "daddy cuts deep"? The can opener?

It may be a question of pace, of what we respectively like, as far as his writing goes.

Especially as his first "act" within a book.

How Gard went on his bender, then ended up in The Tommyknockers I loved.

How the girl Who Loved Tom Gordon, got lost in the forest, didn't interest me.

One was a long prologue, the other concise.

And I prefer the long.
