    Sluggggish reading through Paulo Bacigalupi's THE WIND UP GIRL. Very, very slow....i've developed virtually no feelings towards the characters...characters and their setting seems impossible to identify with. Dystopian future lexicon just adds to the disconnect. Going to finished it (listening it to my ipod so essentially no engery is required). Hoping that it gets better. Not too impressed.

    Finished this book recently and had the same feeling. The last 1/8 of the book went pretty fast and I enjoyed the added section in the sub press edition.

    I gave my thoughts on Facebook, but I'll give them maybe better worded on here now. Full spoilers yos

    Spoiler:
    Desperation may be King's greatest failure. Don't hate me Feev lol. I enjoyed the book, it was by no means a bad book, but it had the potential be a different kind of potent that King had ever written before. The first 300 pages gripped me strongly; Entragian and his craziness, the murders, Steve and Cynthia exploring the town and how grotesque it all was. I was hooked, it was gritty and visceral and looked like it was going to be a completely twisted book. But then about halfway he just lost me. The way he used Tak in the second half as opposed to the first, night and day; Tak was something indomitable, evil, ubiquitous then we have needless expositon about bleeding from the vagina. I bega to laugh at Tak, not taking Tak as serious as I had. Tak did nothing in the seond half of the book that made it unstopppable, it was stupid, retarded and deserved to lose. I really wish King never went as deep into detail about Tak, leaving it as a mystery, it would have been freakier. I think Tak in Ellen Carvers body showing up and taking Mary would have been far more impactful. The cougar happening out of nowhere, without being inside the cats head, would have been like OH SHIT! We knew Tak controlled animals, we would have understood it sent it. And then there is the massive mystery being solved way to deftly. I just wish more was unexplained. King used David to explin way to much and David seemed way to much of a superhero in th second half. I wish the God helping him aspect was less definite and more something to think about. This could have been a great, haunting book, with little explained, that would have stuck wih me. Even with the exact same plot, King could have taken little bits out and made a much more terrifying book. That's my biggest complaint, he could have written a horror masterpiece but I hardly even felt creeped out anymoe 400 pages in. I'd put it middle of the road for King books. I suppose some decisions King made with Desperation may make more sense after reading The Regulators, I'm not sure. Like Under The Dome, I saw he potential for something special and it's probably why I'm harder on it than I usually am on King

    I heard this was an excellent book and so far I totally agree. It's one of those in which I get lost in time while reading it. I'm about 20% in and it's absolutely nothing like the movie.

    thats probably becase the movie isn't based on the book.
