 Hello everybody. E here. Welcome back to another book review. This isn't Thursday theorist. It's just a book review today We are talking about road work, or if I can find it I just want to flip through here and do this is the old cover Stand alone, whatever. This is the cheapo bind up. I found on eBay for like, I don't know $10 I think way back in the day They released this around the time that the regulators came out But I think it might have does it have a thing and no just has an advert for Desperation and regulators in the back. So today we're talking about road work It is I like it a little and this is just gonna upset some people But I like it a little bit more than the long walk and a lot less than rage Rage is probably my second favorite Bachman book and road work is likely right in the middle I'm gonna have very unpopular opinions about thinner And probably the same opinion that everybody else has about blaze But as far as road work a non-spoiler review, I enjoyed the story much more This time around then I did the previous two times that I read the book and one of the reasons I I appreciated it more is because I I've been married for a while and some of the scenes with Barton or bear what other the guy's name is and Mary Dawes and Mary any time they were having you know issues that really Broke my heart and I cried several times throughout this story Even with some of the Olivia stuff I cried and I don't know why I took this one so hard now. I didn't necessarily enjoy the book I'm still on I'm still giving it only three stars, but I finally think I appreciate the book for what it is Whereas the first two times I read it. I well the first time I read it Let me tell you about the first time I read it I went in with the expectation that this was going to be something like rage Especially with the cover of the book being what the cover of the book is I expected something where you know this guy And I don't know if you guys consider what's what doesn't happen to be a spoiler So this might be a minor spoiler, but I expected it to be a book about a man who? Who doesn't want his house toward tore down? So he does a police standoff for you know for several days and we're stuck in the house with him kind of deal I thought that's what I was looking at And of course that's not what this book is at all And the second time I read it. It just it just was boring. I know I didn't get anything out of it So the first time I had bad expectations Second time is bored me to death this time. I took a very long time reading it I only read 10 to 15 pages a night. I Basically, I only did the parts, you know the dates it's broken up into chapters to start by days And I only did a day at a time Literally the the book goes a day at a time And I only did a day at a time and I found that it's probably the best way to read this book is to have time pass for you Like it's passing for the main character Dawes and it's bothering me that I can't remember what this dude's name is I always want to call him Barton that might not be Bart or is it? Is it Barton? Let's see here. I'll jump ahead if I can't find My book has a torn page in it. I hate it when that happens But I think it came that way from the guy who so who sold the book to me I found it on eBay if you don't know this bind up with rage and it is very hard to find because Stephen King took rage off the shelves after the After the Columbine shooting because the shooters said that they were Anyways, I think it's Barton the shooter said they were inspired by his story among others It wasn't just him. I don't agree with him taking down The book I wish the book was still up like I said at the beginning of this review It's one of my favorite Stephen King stories, but road work is not road work is somewhere in the middle for me I actually thought I was going to like Thinner more and I may still like thinner more now that I'm coming back to thinner as a family man Because the first time I read it. I was a teenager the second time I read it was around the time that my daughter was born So I think about 97 98 and then jump all the way to 2005 So I will be reading but next up is the running man And I'm looking I'm actually looking forward to that one because I remember that one being a whole hell of a lot of And I think that one it will be above road work also But another thing about the running man just real quick. I know this is a road work review And I'm all over the place, but I normally am With the running man, I seem to remember more about the movie now I remember how differently the book ends and I remember the whole experience being different But I'm trying I can't seem to recall just how different and the only things that I can really remember about it are the Craptastic amazingly terrible movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger. So if you read road work, what did you think about it? Let me know down there below, especially Cody. I know you like this one a lot Tell me what you like about it my dude And then tomorrow we are going to be talking about the spoilers in Thursday theorist. So until then I have been e You've been you this has been another book review. I'll talk to you guys later. Bye. Bye
