| Re: Lisey's Story
He definately has a habit of using strange phrases during his books. Such as Gawd-Bomb!, grey meat, lobstrocities... etc. Bad-gunky seems in line with the others.
Dean Koontz mentioned a character being abducted by three men in pork-pie hats once, saying he was distracted by the ominous characters in the bar wearing all black, until the pork-pie hat men got him during a break.
Bad-gunky just reminded me of that. But I need to read Lisey's story. There is no way Lisey's story is slower than It. That book had about 300 pages of extremely slow moving expositional chapters just to get the characters back to Derry. That was during King's wordy phase, where every book had to be big enough to use as a self defense weapon in case of attack. |
