    just finished this. I thought it was great, although a lot of reviews are kind of “meh.” I guess books are like music…


    I liked it. I look forward to reading it again.

    I’m a big King fan, but I liked this book. You are right about nothing special, but I found it very enjoyable as well. An interesting tidbit in the book did huge King fans.

    There’s something special! Less than ten pages before the end: King / his main character Billy Summers recommends Cormac McCarthy’s book Blood Meridian 👍 - a personal top favorite of mine.

    This is a book King fans might want to grab.  King wrote the introduction, but none of the stories.  34 short stories by different authors, all taking place in King's The Stand. Almost 800 pages. The stories are not about the characters in the book, although some are mentioned.  It's broken into sections.

    1) Down With the Sickness - stories take place during the 2-3 week plague when everything is falling apart. This is half the book.
    2) The Long Walk - stories take place during the trek to either Boulder or Las Vegas, depending on the character's persuasion.
    3) Life Was Such a Wheel - stories that happen after the book has ended, in the aftermath.
    4) Other Worlds Than These - only 2 stories here. In The Dark Tower series, the characters went through a portal into the world of The Stand, I am assuming it is something up that alley.

    … The final circa 50 pages of „She Rides Shotgun“ are thrilling (and movie stuff).


    The mentioned ride is advertised
    as
    journey through time
    on the back cover!!

    Should be right on my alley.
