Out Of Order

[Lepplady]

I've had Joyland for some time, but didn't get around to reading it until after I finished Doctor Sleep. So I'm reading them out of order. Bad Constant Reader!
I'm still in the early pages, but as usual, I'm astounded by the ease of Sai King's writing. The guy just floors me.
I'll probably have a lot more to say as I progress into the book.

I'm about half way through Dr. Sleep. I've got UR waiting in the wings. But I haven't even picked up Joyland yet.

I completely expected this thread to be all about you. Now duck down sweetie so you can fit back through that door whence you came.

Not much hope for me then, I started in the late "noughties" with a 1986 novel, moved onto a 1990 book, then a late 70's, 2011 etc. Just finished the DT series, and I am trying to decide whether to read an '80, '06 or this '13 book. I am sure to burn.

I whipped through that book. Loved it, loved it, loved it! Oh, and did I say I loved it?

 

[mstay]

Me too! I loved Joyland!

Me neither - haven't even thought about reading in order.... just read which one I want to, or have at the time!

I started Joyland. Not to interested yet. I don't recall ever being disinterested in a King book before.

...keep reading, I think you'll enjoy the ride, if you'll forgive me a small pun...

It took a long time for me to get into this story. Love the writing, but the story moved slowly. It's good. Right in the middle of the pack of Stephen King books for me.
