Jackson Hall

Never read any King before this, but I'm pretty happy I started here. Seemed a but rushed in some moments, but what do I know. He's King. Not as dark as his other novels (from what I have heard). Best to go into this book blind.

The dad jokes never end. I love it. Nerd-out all you want when reading this book. It's a blast. Hopefully you can deal with the science stuff. I understood maybe 1% of the heavy science stuff and I still had a fantastic time. Laughed out loud countless occasions.

I did really enjoy Frank's take on civilization and what he believes it will always be. Other than that, simple story, simple characters, and simple plot points. Suggestion: write down the names of families and people you meet (and a brief description of who they are) in the book, because I constantly forgot who was who when a conversation between 2 characters started.

Movie sucks. Book sucks the happiness from you. Very sad, depressing, triggering book. Silver lining: the dialogue will make you smile. The movie completely neglected to show that dialogue, which I believe made it an unbearable watching experience. All the director wanted was to show sadness if you ask me... the film did not explore hope, like McCarthy does.

The world building in this book was done perfectly, I think. This is the setting I would most like to visit of any book I've read. And Jazz is too fun not to love in my opinion. My mother hates her.

I wish I read it before watching the movie. Both the film and the book are fantastic, but believe me when I say... you want to read this one first.

Interesting concept. I didn't think I was a fan of historical fiction, until I read this. Polarizing.

Not what I expected... can't wait for the film adaptation. It better happen.

Absolutely loved the dialogue throughout the story. Page turner from start to finish.
