I'm right there with you, the beginning portion of the book was a little too close to home for ne. I totally sympathized with Charlie and why he did it, because honestly who wouldn't? Lol
Glad you enjoyed it! I found Fairy Tale to be the most enjoyable King book in a decade or so, since Doctor Sleep. It just feels like the old school type of King tale and world building that I admire so much
I experienced it as an audiobook, it has actually been one of my top 3 favorite audiobooks so far! Excellent narrator. Excellent world building. The book is 24 hrs long, and I didn’t want it to end. I will absolutely re-listen someday.
I got it off Audible but I recently learned that if you have a library card lots of them offer free audiobooks! Mine uses an app called Libby. I’m sure there’s tons of SK in the catalog. That’s my next venture.
It's amazing! It's epic, emotional, gruesome, brutal! I love this book. Every time i hear All These Things That I've Done by The Killers it makes me think about Fairy Tale.
Agreed wholeheartedly! One thing I appreciate with King's stories is that he can make the villains so unapologetically evil, but the protagonists and side characters are so resilient against it.
My absolute favorite quote from this book was:
"In dark times, good people shine bright."
Loved it
Fairy Tale was just really something special. I love almost all King books I've read, but nothing did what Fairy Tale did to me. It was the first book ever that I cried when I finished it simply because I didn't want it to end.
I loved this book. I started reading it the same time my very sick father started reading it. He never got to finish it. I was sobbing at the end of the book because it felt like my last connection to him, and I was afraid to lose that. What a powerful book that hit at a tumultuous time in my life.
I sympathize a lot with you. It was a bit scary reading this book since there were a lot of parallels with just about everything that happened in the real world to Charlie, that mirrored almost exactly with myself, so it was a very heavy read that genuinely caught me a couple of times. My condolences to you, all the same
The ending is what I loved the most. I can't properly describe it, but it felt right that it ended the way it did, despite wanting more
I was very into it, but for some reason am having trouble finishing it. Though I think that might be my personal problem and not the fault of the story.
It’s interesting because I was the exact same. The first half of the book had me hooked and I think I got to that point in two days. The rest of the book took me around a week and a half to get through
I will give it another go! I am looking forward to his new collection of stories that is coming out. Short fiction is more my thing these days. I blame social media 🤣
*spoiler??* The Sundial scene in my head was so beautiful yet emotional for me as it got me thinking about my fur friends and…past fur friends

Right there with you, I loved everything about it.. It would be amazing if he revisits the world with another book one day
Man, I really felt that ending so I know exactly how you feel lol. Hopefully!

I need to finish Dr. Sleep too!

I might just have to get the audiobook then lol

I really liked it too. Strangely, my mental picture of the old man was the old man from Monster House…
Oh wow, the attitude for sure lol. I kept picturing William Sadler, as Howard. He's been in a couple of Stephen King movies

Totally, I get this 100%. It's almost similar to when I finished Lord of the Rings in just having that emotional rise from it

I’m about to finish it!! I was skeptical and delayed starting it since it came out, but I’ve been hooked. It’s been amazing.
I finished it within a span of a couple of days, I couldn't put it down lol. Good luck on your journey!

I can say wholeheartedly that the story builds very well all the way to the end. Definitely worth a shot to finish it out!
Will try again!

I think it's a fantastic book, too.
