Once again, King shows that he is a master of Character. I spoiled myself the bit about Gage (3 chapters before reaching it in the book), but even knowing that, I felt so much sadness when I read it. This one's probably one of the saddest books I've read so far.

Unlike It, this book doesn't spell out what the evil in the Micmac's burial grounds is or where it came from, which fills me with dread. How can the evil be stopped if we don't even know what it is?

It is a good (albeit incomplete) conclusion to Frank Herbert's Dune series. However, I do think it is missing a lot of the essence that made the first 3 and arguably 4 books so good. Maybe we would've gotten to explore the philosophical aspects of the marriage between BGs and HMs or Sheeana's scattering in the unpublished 7th Dune, but alas.

After watching the latest "Knives Out Mystery" Wake Up Dead Man, I wanted to read a murder mystery, and who better than Agatha Christie? This was my first time reading a mystery novel, and I am very happy to have taken the plunge. I highly recommend this book to anyone curious about the mystery genre.

Overall an enjoyable read, however, I do recognize that I'm not the target audience, but it is highly recommended for younger readers.

I was honestly expecting this to be worse than it was. I get that some people don't enjoy the philosophical writing in the later Dune books but I found it really enjoyable. I liked that this book focused more on the different places that we hadn't seen in the previous books, such as the city in Gammu where we see how ordinary people live throughout the former empire.

This book is an entertaining read, but I cannot figure out why Jurassic Park needed a sequel. Read it if you were a fan of the first book and want to come back to Michael Crichton's world and have nothing else to read, otherwise, not worth reading.

Rereading in preparation to Wind and Truth, it's incredible the amount of foreshadowing and hints given for future events in the series. I'm sure some of the biggest mysteries, not only for next book but even for the next 5 have already been hinted at in this first book.

I liked the book but there's only like 3 things that happened

Stephen King once again proves that he is a master at writing characters people.

If you ever read the series, do yourself a favor and listen to performances of the Songs and Poems as you encounter them in the text. It is a very different experience and you learn a lot about the history of this world when you read the poems. I found it is more enjoyable than simply reading the poems and you don't want to miss out on the lore that the songs provide!

One of the best Fantasy books I've ever read
