I just finished Fairy Tale by #StephenKing. What a slog! Took me weeks to summon the energy to get through it. I absolutely love his books usually, but this one was a real effort. It started off great with characters you could really care for, but took a bit of a turn after a couple of hundred pages introducing multiple characters I really couldn’t care less about. Interested to hear others’ thoughts.

@paulpap I enjoyed Fairy Tale, but agree that it wasn't Stephen King's best work. I feel like he could have done more with it. Sure, it was a bit slow in some spots, but that wasn't my primary issue with it. There were also some avenues that King left unexplored. Almost like he realized the pace wasn't moving along fast enough, so he skipped over some interesting parts for the sake of completing the story.

@dbsalk @paulpap Loved Fairy Tale!!! Duma Key had great characters but couldn’t really understand who the boogeyman was supposed to be, and it was at least 6 hours too long!

@paulawallawasington @dbsalk I haven’t read Duma Key, although your comment isn’t really enticing me to try 😂

I listened rather than read so it could be just my not relishing all the intricacies of the language. SK is a fabulous author; I bow to his skills. Again, I loved the characters and the situations. Don’t let me discourage you. Carry on, Sir.
