February 26, 2017 Book Club Notes - Revival by Stephen King (Maren’s Pick)


Discussion:
Julie- Stephen King has run out of ideas. Did NOT like. Felt like a repeat story. Would never recommend ever. 1/5
Jocelyn- Found it very boring. Still had Stephen King’s cool writing style with good phrases. Wanted more creep. Would never recommend. 1/5
Ali- HATED IT!!! Feeling very disappointed in Stephen King. Repeat from many past books. BORED. Would never recommend. 1/5
Maren- I liked it. Quick read. Liked that it was a short Stephen King book. Liked the alchemy aspect. Would not recommend. 3/5
Meriah-Not a fan. Like his writing style, but the end was the same as always. Would not recommend. 2/5

Stephan King books that this one referenced or seemed like: It, Mr. Mercedes, Dr. Sleep, 4th and 6th Dark Tower
