Paging Prince Harry….

The Talisman is my favorite King book but I hope he ‘finds’ any further Talisman novels as unpublished dark Bachman manuscripts.

I don’t want another Fairy Tale.

I was painting a couple of rooms at the time so I listened to the whole book in one day. This was a bad decision because it meant I didn’t have a chance to forget or overlook any details. I wish I had. Instead, everything was fresh in my mind, so I completely understood everything that was going on at all times. As you would.

So at that key moment of the book, because of the dramatic pause alerting me, I actually put my paintbrush down, looked at my phone and thought: oh no, I hope that’s not why this book is so highly rated. But of course that is exactly it. The book has nothing else to it.

I had thought it was part of the narrative all along so the book fell completely flat for me.
