A Man Called Ove. I saw the movie and always like to see how the books and movies differ.

I enjoyed it. I have Robert Harris' Act of Oblivion in my queue after I finish Jack Carr's Only The Dead

Also, there is a movie of Fatherland. Made in the 90s, with Rutger Hauer.

a good review

Started Under The Dome by Stephen King. Not loving it yet, hoping it will grab me by the throat 100 pages in.

 

[FataMorgana]

Under The Dome was the worst King book I've ever read. 800+ pages of shitwaffling nonsense.

Strange Sally Diamond by Liz Nugent. This one is fab.

That’s disappointing. I really enjoyed the Amazon series (especially the character of Big Jim Rennie). I enjoyed seeing how things went from bad to worse and all the normal tribalism as a Stephen King dystopian community unfolds. Kind of reminded me of how folks formed sides in The Mist and Needful Things. I heard it’s quite the weighty tome. 800 + pages. Wow! Kudos to you to push through in a week even though it was a big ole stinky pile of steaming doo. What should have been a wonderful indulgent Belgium waffle of a tale. I was really hoping it would be an epic thing to go back and read the sacred canon from which the show sprang. Guess I won’t prioritize it.
I was putting it right up there with the Dark Tower series. It must have had glimpses of hope at points for you to push through.

Win by Harlan Coben. Running out of Coben books, I think only 4 I haven’t read yet,

You might like it, it's had great reviews. To be fair I skim read the last 200 or so cos I lost the will to live. Far too many characters in it I thought, and the crux of the story kinda was a damp squib over in a page. Might be me though?

Yes I'd be intrigued to see who played Rennie senior and junior. A couple of great baddies!

Mind you The Stand had loads of characters and I loved that...

Also just looked on the episode synopsis on IMDB and it looks like the plot and characters are very different.

 

[CthuluLives]

The Stand is my absolute favourite Stephen King. Only version I've read is the unabridged version, big ass novel that one. Stunning book.

Overall he's not my favourite though, I feel the end of most of his books end up being disappointing, start amazing but end up loosing it..

Bloody hell I'd forgotten about his existence! Never read but in the late 80s I worked with a girl who was obsessed with him. She constantly talked about his books and I constantly talked about Charles De Lint books!

I read it back in like 84/85, start of a series I followed over the years. Was just starting my teenage years and put me onto Isacov, Arthur C Clarke and hasn't stopped since. Very influential on me and certainly highly considered in making me the reader I am.
