Taking a selfie from a distance without a tripod is quite a challenge - even for someone who grew up watching MacGyver.
We're twins! (Except... perhaps I'm a little more well-behaved?)

Did I say something wrong? Was trying to be as vague as possible. Wish I hadn't read the review and was simply trying to warn others as well!
No - you said nothing wrong - I meant in the past when I read certain things about Joyland or even abut the book Doctor Sleep - I made the mistake of looking at the threads first before reading the books, which was dumb!

Just finished it. Was it this book or Doctor Sleep that SK said was "balls to the wall"? I think if I'm remembering right it was Doctor Sleep but it is a very apt description for Mr. Mercedes too.

I loved it. Not an easy one to set down and leave be while real life got in the way.
