Regulators or Desperation?

[TEDG65]

Hi all, I am working my way backwards through the King empire and since these two appear to have been released at roughly the same time, should I read one over the other first?

Doesn't really matter although personally I think reading Desperation first is the way to go.

I agree because that's how I did it and otherwise I'd be wrong.

Agree with MsMod and Blunthead- Desperation is best read first. Enjoy!

Ok, that's what I will do!!

Thanks all!!!

P.S. Is one better than the other or both about the same?

I'd read Desperation first, but it's one of my favourite King stories so I'm slightly biased. Enjoy!

I would read The Regulators second only because I think it is the more interesting and better book. It's like having dessert after dinner; both are good and satisfying, but the dessert is so much sweeter and indulgent and much better when saved for last!

I personally liked Regulators better but I think I may be in the minority.

I would read Desperation first as well.

...that is very subjective information, and only you can judge that-don't let our opinion sway your feelings....

The Regulators is one of my favourite books...and I would read it AFTER Desperation...but either way, its a great story!!
