The Drawing of the Three by Stephen King

laurasauras's review against another edition

5.0

I read this in two days, and struggled to get to sleep in the middle because I wanted so badly to keep reading. I loved Eddie's story in particular, as well as the name of the "lobstrocities" but to be honest, it's hard to pick a highlight because it's so good!

trash_reader_'s review against another edition

"I jerk off left-handed, he thought, at least that's something."

I already dislike King's writing the majority of the time. I refuse to sit through another of his mediocre books, especially if it's going to be filled with unnecessary sexual content, just to hopefully see why everyone claims to love his books. I don't have the time or patience for that.

Was the quote above that bad? No. But I've read around 30 of his books already and I know it will get worse, so I'm stopping while I'm ahead. I was bored anyway, and considering this is the second book in a series, I don't think I'm supposed to be bored.
