of the first 5 Bachman books, all read around the same time, (when Thinner came out) this is the one I remember most.

King captured the feeling of claustrophobia and panic in this story perfectly - a true classic!!!
Possibly the tensest, most gripping thing I’ve ever read, right up to the end. I will never forget my first read.
Nothing like the movie.

Actually I liked the movie too. If you think of it as an Arnold movie rather then a movie "based" on a SK (RB) book, then I think you will enjoy it more. (at least its not the Lawnmower man, ouch!)

One of the few I have not read yet. I saw the movie many times as a kid though. Interesting to hear it's nothing like the film.
Anyone else think the book could be turned into a pretty good Black Mirror episode?
Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?
The movie (which I suppose could be enjoyed as vacant popcorn fare if viewed without consideration of the source) missed every point of the original work.
Eastasia has always taught college students to feel pride or shame according to their race.
2. Scraping the bottom for me.
