Dark Tower novels... mind blowing.

Not to get off subject, but is your avatar from Blade Runner?

Bee-otch 08-02-2006 12:24 PM

Yeah, it's Blade Runner :)
Haven't resized my Phantasm pics yet.

Good call Miss... I'm impressed. ;)

Miss Olivia 08-02-2006 02:08 PM

I really like the one you have now, but Phantasm rocks too.
Long live the Tall Man.:cool:

Hmm...I wasnt a big fan of Pet Sematary.

Anyone who's read his books knows that King likes to get sidetracked and ramble on, and I found that this was his worst for that. Entire chapters with absolutly no purpose whatsoever.

Really? I thought the story was pretty tight. He seemed to have the rambling to a minimum in this one.

One part in particular that I found exceedingly overlong was when Dad was teaching Gage to fly a kite. It did serve a bit of a purpose, I suppose, but I went on way longer than it needed to/should have IMO.

Yeah, once you read the book, those scenes become twice as cruel. After I had my son, I couldn't bring myself to read it anymore. But I can understand where you're coming from. I think it's his way of really making it hurt when what happens happens.
