I follow you on Goodreads and when I see you getting close to finishing a book I get super excited for the review vid soon to follow. Never stop buddy you are killing it

Jim Gardner is such a great character. A broken man, alone and trapped, who loves his friend Bobbi and tries his best. And in the end, he saves the world.

This was the second King book I read after IT, I found myself frustrated at times because of useless pages that don't really contribute anything to the story. So yeah, it's a bit bloated. But ultimately I think it was a good read, and it's probably the fastest I've ever read a book of that scale(slow reader). +funnily enough the Finnish version I read also has spelling mistakes, haven't seen that in other King translations

I guess I’m one of the handful of people that actually liked this book. This was my third Stephen King read right after Salem’s lot and needful things. I like the characters Bobby, gardener and The towns people. I don’t know, I just really liked it and I rank it in my top five Stephen King books and I’ve read a little over 30 of his works. Can’t wait to see what the James Wan movie looks like

Please keep these coming…your book reviews are by far the best on KZfaq. Check out The Fisherman by John Langan. It’s a mix of mystery and cosmic horror that blew me away.

I’ve read TT twice and imho it’s a great book. Especially the ending when they finally get into the ship, it’s great sci-fi. Amazing how King could write so well drunk and on drugs. He’s a mad genius.

Great review; I largely agree with your assessments of this book. Though I might be the odd one out finding the Coke machine part to be really great. I for one would like to see you do a video on the different stages of King's writing career

Tried reading this. Couldn’t get past the endless pages of the heroine digging and digging and digging that ufo out of the ground. She also made lunch and ate it. The whole thing was taking up to 50’pages and was still going. I bailed and went straight to the finale.

I've avoided many of your reviews because you never discuss the plots(people complaining about spoilers). I want you to talk about the books....in their entirety. Would love to see you break down his novels discussing the pros and cons. Just my opinion.

"The Colors of Outer Space", bro? . . .Bro.

King said he was blown up on coke when writing that novel and can barely recall composing it.

with the right background soundtrack tommyknockers is legit

well,well it was a hard read for me given the fact that I kind of got used to Kings writing(300+ pages that could have been skipped easily - all that digging and falling teaths :D).Either way I liked the ending :). Why do people say its his worst book? - because they havent read Tom gordon or Colorado kid :D

I've completed 51 King books now. I still have to read The Tommyknockers.

I highly disliked the regulators and Dr. Sleep. I can't imagine I'd dislike the Tommyknockers as badly.

Well done with the review. Funny enough, as this is criticized by many, Gard is one of my fave characters in any book. I found him extremely entertaining and well written. It’s kind of sad to say because I know King was going through addiction at this time himself so I think he was putting himself in Gard’s character, but overall I liked the characters in this book a lot. Typos, grammar issues like you said were definitely there and the book was kind of a mess but I still enjoyed it. Good on for you reading it more than once though lol. I definitely have only read it one time.

I liked the tommyknockers but it dragged too much... I stopped at 500 pages and gave up. Good book however. Good review.

Completely agree with your assessment. I'd love to see a vid on the three stages of King's writing.

Great review, Frosty!! I'm perfectly aligned to your thinking on this one. I've read it twice myself. And I haven't really noticed, but you brought up an excellent point: King's best and worst book were written about the same time. Wow. That blows my mind. Also, I hadn't realized there were 3 stages to his career. And you're absolutely right!! Definitely worth a video to talk about that.

Kings job is to provide a story and ideas to a reader, the editors are the ones that make it possible and enjoyable. As always great vid frosty, keep up the work!

Just finished it. I admit, the middle part bogged me down and I read a lot slower than I normally do. But the ending and all of the unexpected cameos were stellar

Great to see you do another book review, even if its the Tommyknockers!

Tommyknockers isn’t that bad I thought it had a real solid start and finish. Liseys story is my worst king book...

I read Stephen King was out of his face with cocaine and alcohol when he wrote Tommy Knockers , it's amazing he can write a word in that state, You mention there was lot of spelling mistakes, gramma issues, and this is a big book with lot of unnecessary pages that should have been cut by an editor. Like most of his books which are big, I think the editor should do his job and chop all the rubbish and condense it to 300 page novel. But he seem to be afraid because Stephen King is too rich.

Keep up the work Knives

had this book been properly edited it would not be half as good as it is. genuinely my favorite book ever, and i have to say i think people only dislike it because its a stephen king book that doesnt feel like a stephen king book.

I like the Tommyknockers. Very underrated.

The story and concept itself is very cool. I appreciated this one a lot.

i love this book i don't know why some people just hate it. there are things he took from Lovecraft and maybe it's too weird and not for everyone...

I am a fan of Stephen King and I've been re reading his books and I have realized he's not that great a writer and has a few good books and alot of boring trash.
