It has an awful lot of philosophy going on and that might be its big flaw.SQThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04251030404220909306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7354250.post-11858188524995221932008-02-05T15:27:00.000-06:002008-02-05T15:27:00.000-06:00I gave up on the Bakker as well, for many of the s...I gave up on the Bakker as well, for many of the same reasons, I really struggled with giving it up.Deirdrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01262189115116664320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7354250.post-10898754547057613422008-02-04T21:34:00.000-06:002008-02-04T21:34:00.000-06:00I know the Bakker series has a huge following, but...I know the Bakker series has a huge following, but it didnt do anything for me. I made it halfway through book 3 before i finally gave up, realizing i was only reading because of the good reviews, and not because i was enjoying it. I didnt regret putting it down one bit. I might try reading it again one day far down the road. If not, hopefully my 1st edition 1st print hardcovers will be worth something one day :)Jeff Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00865412847796927368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7354250.post-35764298307539567012008-02-04T20:16:00.000-06:002008-02-04T20:16:00.000-06:00I've read 10-15 King novels in the last year or so...I've read 10-15 King novels in the last year or so and I've enjoyed most of them so far, but I think there are some which really don't click (Firestarter, Blaze, Road Work, and some of his recent stuff).

I just don't think SK is for me.Tia Nevitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05489109929908389257noreply@blogger.com
