I really enjoyed The Regulators. I liked the premise and the way it played out.

[Tiffany]

5! Creepy story and I loved it.

[Sam]

I liked this one more than Desperation, but only a little more. 4.

[Aaron]

I loved this book. It is the only King book I have read more than twice.

[Hannah]

I liked it. I gave it a 4.

[alinda]

WOW Hannah, we're in sync today. Another 4 from me too.

[Armand St Pierre]

LOVED it! 5

[mae]

Like its mirror novel, one of those I still need to get to.

[Daghain]

I gave it a 3. It was good, but not spectacular, IMHO.

[John_and_Yoko]

I've ended up voting both this and Desperation as a 4, even though I liked this one better.

[Heather19]

This one I'm going to give a 4 as well. Didn't quite enjoy it as much as Desperation, but I still thought it was really good.

Too much fuss. Everybody runs and falls and jumps and crawls - bears fall asleep immediately. Moreover, I am not familiar with the entities used - and if the book was really good, it wouldn't have influenced anything, I would have believed and sympathized and bought the whole story and lived it whether or not I was familiar with the context.

I really loved this one.

Lots of action.

I gave it a 5!

[B Rag]

Unfortunately, although I own it, I never finished this one. I don't remember why...

I gave it a 3. It was good, but not spectacular, IMHO.


My thoughts exactly. :cool:

3. I've always preferred Desperation of these 2 books, but this was still reasonably good.

[Darkthoughts]

I gave a 4. I waaaay preferred this to Desperation. Infact, it's probably my favourite Bachman book.

I enjoyed the parallels between this story and Desperation, although I preferred the setting and characters of Regulators. I found it to be like a mini The Stand, in the way the neighbourhood becomes divided in the way each person handles the situation.

Good stuff and if I ever come to the States I'm buying a copy with this cover, yet again far superior to the UK edition :thumbsup:

Well, you don't need to actually come here in order to get it. You see they have this thing called the Internet, in fact you're on it right now! :cyclops: To the shops wit'ee!

I love these books. Desperation has the more fleshed story, but this has a really cool style and I thought the Seth/Tak character was F'n the most disturbing angle on Tak in either book. I loved him in both though.

[SpaceMaN]

Rated it a 5, Desperation a 4. Just liked it better, maybe cuz I'm a kid and I dig the kid stuff. Cowboys and such.

[Mianjo]

So, as I just said in the Desperation thread....

I gave this a 3. I remember reading when it first came out, and only just liking it. I've had no desire to reread it since then--until sometime last week when I saw a copy of this and Desperation at the library, wondered where my copies were, and thought, "Hmm, I should reread those two at some point."

My opinion might change on reread, but this is where it stands for now.

Have to say I like "Desperation" a little more but for no discernable reason lol

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

first book I have actually given a 1. Hated it.

[Jackie]

I actually really loved this book. I'm not sure why but I was so attached i finshed it in about three days i just couldn't put it down.
