Assessment Epithetical Books The Talisman (The Talisman #1)

While I did really enjoy the book and parts I really loved, fantasy is not my favourite genre. It wouldnt stop me from recommending this epic adventure.

Classic! Epic! Timeless! Two of my all time favourite authors. 🐯👍

Guess who finally finished the World's Longest Buddy Read?Me. Twelve-year-old Jack Sawyer has one mighty task ahead of him. He must make a journey across the country in order to save his mother. A quest? Aye, you bet. A quest worthy of another young lad we know and love- Jake Chambers. Twinners? Mayhap, mayhap not. Jacks father died leaving him with his b-list movie star mother. Shes dying of cancer. Sucking on cigarettes and living the good life, she knows her son must go. Even if she doesnt

4.0 stars. Stephen King knows how to tell a story and this is another good example of his talent for world-building and plotting. Having read this, it is amazing to me that this story was not originally intended as part of the "Dark Tower" universe because the tie-ins are "in your face" for most of the story. In fact, as a huge fan of the Dark Tower series, one of the only reasons that I did not enjoy this story even more is because it wasn't expressly connected to that larger story and so read

For about a three month period, we follow a twelve year old Jack Sawyer on a journey which will take him across the country, but also to other worlds unknown. Jack Sawyer has had a life unlike most kids his age, and his wisdom, determination, and just all-around kick-a$$ness throughout the entire novel, show even a twelve year old boy shouldn't be underestimated. I think one of the things I liked best about The Talisman was Jack Sawyer. He's the type of character you can't help but love, not

One of the things that I love the absolute best about Stephen King's books (most of them) is that they are immensely re-readable, and depending on where is in one's life, or how many of King's other books one has read, the experience could be completely different each time. I have loved this book for a long time. It's a quest, it's a great story with great characters, but more than that, it's almost like a prototype of where The Dark Tower series would eventually go... An alt universe mini

Weird book.The great thing about us residents of the country of READING is that we are a diverse, eclectic bunch. We like and dislike all sorts of different books and for different reasons. Sometimes a few of us will like a book or writer, but for completely different motivations and coming from different perspectives altogether.It had great actionThere was wonderful characterization and dialogueIt was a clever allegory and well written.Etc. etc.And so we come to Stephen Kings 1984 collaboration
