psychedelink 's review for:
Elevation
by Stephen King
This is one of the worst books I've ever read, my God.
How did this win best horror of 2018? Despite the fact it's not even a horror story every other horror writer on the planet had to of DIED for this to even be considered for the award.
Was this book a joke? There's no way this was written seriously. It was so politically correct that I almost thought it was ironic, but no, it's serious.
King unironically calls lesbians "lesbeans" multiple times, talks about how attractive the lesbian main character is, and how Scott "can't help" but check out her body, there's a "the townspeople are so dumb and ignorant, and they definitely all voted for Trump" scene. Holy F**K the Trump scene was trying so goddamn hard. Trump is mentioned one time and it's to use voting as him for a reason the townspeople don't like lesbians. I don't like Trump either but god, it's like those protesters that have signs with stuff like "Trump is Voldemort, what would Dumbledore do" it's that but a book.
Jesus CHRIST THIS WAS SO BAD. The stuff with him rapidly losing weight, funnily enough, carries no weight, because it never pays off, never gets a satisfying conclusion, and takes a back seat the ENTIRE BOOK until after Scott appeases the "lesbeans".
I am actually angry after reading this book.
How was this THAT bad?
