What Is The Best Bachman Book?

[GNTLGNT]

I noticed he doesn't talk much about this book at all. I've seen lots of interviews with King and he never mentions this book. Rage of course made news when it was taken out of print. (Hated that they did that)

...I understand why he did though...the man has heart...

 

[GNTLGNT]

It's not like that G. Just like me, all those peeps enjoyed getting on here and chatting it up. That change threw everyone for a loop and they saw FB as a good start up spot. Sonia was the one that got me to check out FB. I started a group over there with her and Deb Sambol and Holly as admins. It's an entertainment group and we talk about everything from movies to music. This was the first chat room/message board I was on, so it means something to me. Now that I'm getting used to it you'll be seeing more of me on here.

...I'm glad Holmes...I truly am....send em my love...don't do and won't do FB...just a stubborn old cuss that way...tried it, didn't like it...and came home...

The Long Walk. It made me so nervous I was sweating. No joke.

 

[Pucker]

I can't rate favorites.

I guess I like the trip we take in The Long Walk the best, but metaphorically I am very down with the idea that people should eat their own pie.

And I'll throw in an honorable mention for Roadwork, simply because it's grounded in a recognizable reality and tries so damn hard.

Indubitably "The Long Walk". I am still reading the Bachman books, but I've finished: The Walk, Thinner, Rage, Roadwork, and The Regulators.

I've mentioned it before, but a great Ka-incidence is - Johann Sebastian Bach....19 letters. Yeah, I'm obsessed

Don't know

My fave is still The Body. The Long Walk is number two but there is something special about The Body......

The Dark Half. Great story and characters. Plus my SK "boyfriend" Alan Pangborn is in it

But Tery....?? The Dark Half is not a Bachman Book, is it? It might have been intended as one once but it was published under Kings name. Or am i completely off the road, not at all impossible, but i don't think so...??
That said i prefer Pangborn in Needful Things. When did he became your boyfriend?

Nor is The Body, Kurben.

Youre right! I mixed up the Bachmann books with different seasons! Stupid of me.

Different Seasons does feel like Bachman tbh.

 

[Blake]

1)Regulators 2) Different Seasons 3) The Running Man

 

[Doc Creed]

The Long Walk wins. I'm not surprised, but I am surprised Blaze ranked higher than The Running Man and Thinner. Anyone else?

 

[Anduan Pirate Princess]

I've only read Thinner and Rage so far, and I really loved Rage. Looks like I need to give The Long Walk a try next!

 

[recitador]

blaze is actually the only one i haven't read to date. long walk for me, with running man close behind.

Misery - if Bachman hadn't been outed that would have been his === all 4 in The Bachman Books are superlative and Thinner was solid as well
