Warning, this review is full of spoilers, and I didn't feel like trying to figure out where they all were and hiding them individually. So don't read if you don't want to be spoiled. I was disappointed when I read this book for the first time, not long after its publication. I was still a very sh...
Audience: Adult Format: Audiobook/Owned "Thinner," the old Gypsy man with the rotting nose whispers to William Halleck as Halleck and his wife, Heidi, come out of the courthouse. - first sentence I've been listening to Stephen King books on audio recently. All of them have been re-reads and I ...
It's weird. I think I may have read this book before, but now after finishing it this weekend, I have doubts. I maybe just watched the movie and that's where I was recalling most of my information from. I honestly don't like the Bachman books that much that Stephen King wrote. I recall "The Long Wal...

He’s got it all—an expensive home in Connecticut, a loving family…and fifty extra pounds that his doctor repeatedly warns will be the ...
Thinner is one of Stephen King's Richard Bachman books, the handful of books that he wrote in the late seventies to mid-eighties and published using the Bachman pseudonym.

I'm not exactly familiar with King's works but Thinner was an enjoyable read! Enjoyable in a sense that it provided me with the right amount of creepiness to maintain the interest but not too much to deter myself from reading it any further.As the title clearly suggests, Thinner is a story about Bil...
I really liked this one. Good silly/spooky fun. I wouldn't call it scary, but I enjoyed it. It also differed just enough from the movie version to be interesting.
A fun read. The Bachman stuff is super bleak, and this novel is no exception. King's usual narrative style is present though and the story unfolds with a taught clip that seems to be missing from his newer more pondering and meditative works, but there's nothing really deep here. In Thinner we have ...
I really enjoyed this book. It's dark and has a kind of bitterness, and I liked that quality a lot. But first, the thing that I thought didn't really work: Billy's starting weight of 246 lbs. Billy is 6'2, so while 246 lbs on that frame would make him overweight, it is by no means the "pig fat" obes...
