See allI am kind of shocked, to say the least. I didn't expected to like the book this much, but was King good writing this. It raises a lot of questions, if we truly have free will, and how much our emotions drive away us. Or how, we think following our heart is more important, because we think it's more moral, when that may not be the case. I think after Crime and Punishment, i think this is my 2nd favorite book of all time, for now
Honestly a strange book. It looks like London knew this would be his last book and decided to throw as many stories as possible. I'd say there are some good critiques on how society handles prisoners(the best part of the book), but everything else falls apart because the stories are not really connected thematically wise. Some were interesting but would have been better as a standalone. Really hated how many times the author said “i am not going to bother you with this” “i do not have time to explain this”. Like i get it's to make the book more realistic, but the stories deserved a better connection
