Something special about this book . . .

[JRM]

Hi!

So I doubt anyone remembers, but I wasn't a fan of this book when I first read it (many times bored me to sleep -- literally), but since then (read it last year), it's been growing on me. I haven't read it again, but it's one of those Stephen King books that I always think about, and all the memories of it are good. I think I'm going to give it another go after I finish all the novels I own.

I agree with you JRM(or Germ as in "ladies and goims" Oh, never mind)I wasn't smitten by Insomniawhen it was first released either, but I've re-read it a few times now, and kinda like a beneficent fungus, it grows on you(pun most certainly intended). There is a LOT going on in this book, and it takes a few times to get comfortable with the rhythms...

Completely enjoyed Insomnia on the first read, and will admit, after the second read I found so many clues I'd missed. Say True, GNTLNT, it does grow on you.

Hi,

Indeed, I know what you mean.

Have you read the Dark Tower yet?

Long days and pleasant nights

Forgive me for being blind to the obvious.....but which book are you talking about?

That would be Insomnia (the thread title is the clue). Did I just hear a doh? If so, don't feel badly, as I had to look up to figure it out myself.

Hi all, I have read this book several times and each time i read i find something i missed. Also I can relate a little since I suffer myself....must be why I love it so much

Yep, and a very audible "Doh" at that.... I have no real excuse, so we'll go with CRS! LOL

I had that same experience with Liseys story....I picked it up and put it down at least 5 times b4 getting thru the first chapter and when i finally did it turned out to be one of my all time faves...

Have to say, I hugely love Insomnia. Cried buckets at the end. But Steve seems to do that to me, he breaks through my emotional defences - the swine!
