I've been collecting Robert Anton Wilson's writing, and finally got an intact copy of The Illuminatus Trilogy, so I go back and forth between Illuminatus and one of my favorite novelettes, PILGRIMS TO THE CATHEDRAL by Mark Arnold, out of the cinema horror story collection, SILVER SCREAM.

Stephen King-Finders Keepers. It's the follow-up to his 2014 novel, Mr. Mercedes. I also detect similarities to Misery as the antagonist happens to be an author's #1 fan. I'm only 100 pages in, but it seems like FK will be another success from King!

The plot is pretty average to me really. There were parts that were really intriguing, and then there were parts that were rather draggy. The ending was just.. meh. There was so much climax building up and the ending was quite a twist but you'd think that the ending would leave you with more questions but it really didn't, for me. It was just, that. I guess that's just the style the author went for.

Anyway, one good thing was how well the author got me to really dislike the characters in the book. ALL of them. Except for one, but a very insignificant role. I got annoyed at some points, so I gather that's something good at least.

I started another but I do this one next. See if we like the same character. Surely it can't end worse then Stehpen Kings Dark Tower series. Or Anne Rice's Vampire books

Part of a series, this is book 3 of 10 so far.

That actually looks intriguing.

Well, I'm on page 230 and so far you are spot on. I'm finishing it because I can't not but otherwise... Don't care for it.
