I would like to make my own post about Revival, I hope that is alright, I have somethings in particular I would like to say and don't want to crash any other threads Re:
I am pleased to be included in this website, it's neat. Thank you for being patient with my over abundance of writing.
I haven't been in the world of the constant reader much lately, let alone the world of the reader, but I somehow stumbled into B&N and noticed a book, Mr. Mercedes. I grumbled and bought it, not over the purchase of a book, but because I hate to let the things pleasing to me fall from my interest. I bought it and the clerk told me that there would also be a book called Revival, coming soon. I was excited. I got a B&N membership and some science magazines about the multiverse. There was even a magazine for explorers, I bought that too.
I came to this website to check it out and learn more, and ended up signing up for the message board. I like reading stuff so why not. I've been meaning to re read all my King books, and this would be a place to book talk. The website let me know when to get Revival. I went the day it came out, that is my contribution to fanaticism for the year.
I finished it today.
It covered every heavy topic, and somehow didn't feel heavy at all. I have particularly personal feelings about the topic, due to the fact that I have Wolfe Parkinson white disorder in my heart, an electrical disorder...so I am a mutant. As well, I have electrical anomalies elsewhere in my bod, so I've spent a lot of time thinking about how we all have electricity in us and energy can neither be created nor destroyed and I love to think about the universe so I am fascinated by that. It's personal to me. The theme at least, so I enjoyed that part.
Also, I am a third generation Showperson. That's a carny to all of you. I have noticed over the last few years a tendency for SK to mention carnivals. This is okay it makes sense to me, in the old days carnivals were an important form of entertainment, they brought much to a time with no Facebook, no malls, and no video games where you kill hookers and steal their money. They brought a breath of exotic air to tiny towns everywhere. I just happened to grow up on one. I'm guess I'm what a SK book would call " carny from carny from carny " Yeah.
I myself at my age am not familiar with any of the carny lingo from the books, and don't know if King invented it for his tales or earned the info cutting up jackpots with old bastards on golf carts, but I read somewhere carnies were giving him a little flack for it and I just wanted to say that to each doing their own good, they do. It's hard to talk like a real carny if you didn't grow up on the midway or close to it, so I don't mind and I think it's flattering that a great author has taken an interest in the lore of my people's culture. Lots of carnies read SK actually. My point though, is that I am a carny, and the glove doesn't quite fit, but that's okay. We Showpeople don't want you to wear our gloves anyways We are just pleased you wanted to try them on.
I thought Revival was very mature writing for Mr. King, it made me think of a lot of themes that are very frightening to me science wise, regarding ethics. It made me once again think of the area between reality and perception, that little bit, just out of the corner of your eye that always gets away when you turn...
