Regulators, The
  Regulators, The

Inspiration:

About The Regulators, Stephen says: "I had been toying with this idea called The Regulators because I had a sticker on my printer that said that. Then one day I pulled up in my driveway after going to the market and the Voice said, 'Do The Regulators and do it as a Bachman book and use the characters from Desperation but let them be who they're going to be in this story.' These books were an opportunity to test the idea of using characters as a repertory company. There are some passages that are word for word the same in both books and there are also little jokes." He explains further: "It's just like actors who do Hamlet one night and Bus Stop the next."

This book was amazing! When I read it I was in shock about what happened and how everything conspired. The ending left me speechless. It was sad yet very good. Applause Given.

I just finished reading The Regulators. It was terrific. This was my second ''Bachman novel". the first one i read was Thinner, which i did not like as much as The Regulators. I live in a mid-west suburb, so I found this book especially scary.

I am approximately half-way through reading The Regulators, and I love it! Initially, I was a bit overwhelmed because there are so many characters. I had to make a list of all the characters who live on Poplar Street, and briefly describe each one. That way, if I get confused, I can refer to the list. Now that the characters are more familiar to me, I am enjoying The Regulators so much.

How is this not a movie? Sorry I love the book and finished in 3 days and was tempted to start back from page one again! Was a little hard at times because i read Desperation first(weeks ago) but names were fresh in my head but wow. Good from start to finish and "letters" at end were nice too.
