Elevation by Stephen King
3.0
Elevation drew me in almost immediately. Despite the similarities to Thinner I was intrigued, Stephen King creates individual characters in every book he writes. I looked forward to listening and learning more about Scott Carey. However, Stephen King made me feel invested in Scott Carey as a person as the focus was not solely on his fluctuating weight.
Like all of Stephen King’s novels Elevation was expertly written. The audiobook was short, sweet, and, narrated by the author which is always a plus. I enjoyed reading (or listening) to the character development of Scott Carey and the neighborhood lesbian-owned restaurant. Sadly, Elevation was too reminiscent of Thinner and I had a hard time engaging in the novel. Elevation is an interesting concept, however, because of the similarities to Thinner it lacked some of the originality of King’s other novels. Stephen King is still an amazing writer and I fear my disappointment stems from wanting more depth from Elevation.
