Just finished Thinner. That was interesting, it's the first of the Bachman books I've read and I enjoyed it. I didn't expect the reaction I had during the chapter where Billy confronts Hopely, but I audibly gagged at the description of the pimples and such popping. I did enjoy thending with his daughter coming home and him deciding to eat the pie as well, but then again I do enjoy bleak endings.
