00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:19,520
you who don't know this was published in

00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,000
2017 and even though it's titled as a
8
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:23,680
horror
9
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,160
i did not feel that way at all with this
10
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,640
novel i definitely felt like it was just
11
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,599
just fantasy now even though this is my
12
00:00:31,599 --> 00:00:33,680
physical copy i ended up listening to
13
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,239
the audio version only because like it
14
00:00:36,239 --> 00:00:38,719
is it's a big book and i just knew i
15
00:00:38,719 --> 00:00:40,480
would have a hard time getting through
16
00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:43,360
with it if i just tried reading it this
17
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,559
novel was very different and it did kind
18
00:00:46,559 --> 00:00:48,559
of help me out of my
19
00:00:48,559 --> 00:00:51,680
my slumpy feels with reading because it
20
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,600
just this was so much different than
21
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,079
something i typically would read
22
00:00:56,079 --> 00:00:57,520
so before i get into the story please
23
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,160
like and subscribe if we are jiving so i
24
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,079
think of this story it's not about one
25
00:01:02,079 --> 00:01:05,280
person but it's it's about one town
26
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,560
and that is something i think king does
27
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,960
super super well like he just does an
28
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:13,680
amazing job of giving you
29
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,520
a group of people and uh he does that
30
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,840
with in salem's lot when you kind of get
31
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,600
to know the town and the people in that
32
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,400
town he does it in needful things and he
33
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,640
does it in this novel where you just you
34
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,600
know everyone he just does and you don't
35
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,680
get to you don't know every single
36
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,640
person's backstory or their lives but we
37
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:35,439
do
38
00:01:35,439 --> 00:01:39,280
hit just like a key few people and with
39
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,040
those few people
40
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,759
he just does a really great job of like
41
00:01:43,759 --> 00:01:46,000
knowing what it would feel like
42
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,280
to to be around these people to know
43
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,479
what to expect in this kind of group or
44
00:01:52,479 --> 00:01:54,799
in this case this town this is one of
45
00:01:54,799 --> 00:01:57,200
the many things why i love
46
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:58,719
king's stories
47
00:01:58,719 --> 00:02:02,320
so the story starts off and soon after
48
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,799
uh women are starting to fall asleep and
49
00:02:04,799 --> 00:02:07,280
even though this is affecting the entire
50
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,840
world he brings it up just like really
51
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,760
quickly we're only really experiencing
52
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,760
this one town and how they are dealing
53
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,920
with it even though it is affecting the
54
00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:17,520
entire world
55
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:18,319
so
56
00:02:18,319 --> 00:02:20,160
the women are trying to fall asleep and
57
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,800
when they fall asleep this wispy white
58
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,400
substance
59
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,400
starts to cover their bodies and they're
60
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,160
still breathing they're it's just like
61
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:29,920
they're like in a coma like state and
62
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:32,080
they're not going to wake up if you try
63
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,560
to mess with this wispy
64
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,599
substance on their bodies they
65
00:02:37,599 --> 00:02:40,400
they get very violent it's like they're
66
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:41,519
not even
67
00:02:41,519 --> 00:02:44,319
they're not them anymore they'll wake up
68
00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:46,959
attack whoever messed with their their
69
00:02:46,959 --> 00:02:48,720
wispy coverage
70
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,640
and then they go back to sleep
71
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:53,040
and then the wispiness the whispy white
72
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,160
stuff
73
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,440
consumes them again so it's very odd and
74
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,720
the men are starting to freak out
75
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,760
and there's only one woman who's in a
76
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,120
prison who seems to be immune to this
77
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,519
what they're calling aurora
78
00:03:09,519 --> 00:03:11,760
disease are they calling it a disease i
79
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,280
don't know they're calling it aurora
80
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,760
though and one woman who's in the prison
81
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,560
is immune to it some men are trying to
82
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,599
come after her some are trying to figure
83
00:03:21,599 --> 00:03:24,480
out how she's managing to
84
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,080
you know still live
85
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:27,519
normally and
86
00:03:27,519 --> 00:03:29,519
it progresses from there now as the
87
00:03:29,519 --> 00:03:33,200
story continues we do see how
88
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,519
men would react to this kind of
89
00:03:35,519 --> 00:03:38,000
situation right we have some guys who
90
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,599
are devastated they feel like they've
91
00:03:39,599 --> 00:03:42,799
lost their wives girlfriends you know
92
00:03:42,799 --> 00:03:45,440
whatever the woman in their lives and
93
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:46,959
then there are
94
00:03:46,959 --> 00:03:50,080
some who are happy that the women in
95
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:51,680
their lives are gone like the pain in
96
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,760
the asses you know and then we just kind
97
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,200
of have these guys who don't really know
98
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,360
what to do you know they're they're lost
99
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:58,799
they don't understand
100
00:03:58,799 --> 00:04:03,040
uh how you know we need women in life to
101
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,280
to create life and you know so on and so
102
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,760
forth so there's a lot of mixed emotions
103
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,760
and i think king really did a good job
104
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,480
of kind of summing up how everyone would
105
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,760
would react and i saw a lot of negative
106
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,320
reviews on this book and i think
107
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,079
a lot of men
108
00:04:20,079 --> 00:04:21,759
didn't like this book i don't know it
109
00:04:21,759 --> 00:04:23,199
was kind of like the guys who gave
110
00:04:23,199 --> 00:04:25,199
negative reviews really didn't like how
111
00:04:25,199 --> 00:04:28,400
men were portrayed in this novel but for
112
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,639
me i think it was very realistic and
113
00:04:30,639 --> 00:04:33,520
some guys would be crazy like they were
114
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,600
in this book i mean
115
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,360
humans we're vast okay there's shitty
116
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,520
people and there's good people you know
117
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,360
and i felt like he did a really good
118
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,360
mixture of all that
119
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,560
and some people said it was political
120
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,560
that went over my head i did not you
121
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:51,759
know
122
00:04:51,759 --> 00:04:53,840
sometimes when i read fictional stories
123
00:04:53,840 --> 00:04:55,759
i'm very well aware it's fictional and i
124
00:04:55,759 --> 00:04:57,520
don't go past
125
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,840
that yes it's a fictional story women
126
00:04:59,840 --> 00:05:00,960
are falling asleep and they're going
127
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,199
into a coma and they're basically going
128
00:05:03,199 --> 00:05:04,160
through
129
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,720
changes like a butterfly would or a
130
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,639
caterpillar you know like whatever like
131
00:05:08,639 --> 00:05:10,880
that's how i took the story
132
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,560
and some people just took it in a
133
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,560
totally different direction there's
134
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,440
something about gun control
135
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,600
stuff i don't know like i said i didn't
136
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,600
really see the political
137
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,080
side of this nor did i care to look for
138
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,000
it but
139
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,280
i do live in the u.s and
140
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:30,800
guns are
141
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,039
widely available to us and i don't know
142
00:05:33,039 --> 00:05:35,520
if that is why people were talking about
143
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,680
it because gun control was brought up in
144
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,680
another person's review and she's in
145
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,039
canada and in canada
146
00:05:43,039 --> 00:05:45,360
okay well i'm not really sure in canada
147
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,759
i think you can own a gun but if you do
148
00:05:47,759 --> 00:05:49,919
you have to keep your gun
149
00:05:49,919 --> 00:05:50,639
with
150
00:05:50,639 --> 00:05:52,000
like at the police department or
151
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,759
something like that i'm not sure if
152
00:05:53,759 --> 00:05:55,440
you're from canada and
153
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,759
and you you know be free to correct me
154
00:05:57,759 --> 00:06:00,960
because i'm not 100 sure but in america
155
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,039
you can get a gun you can go to dick's
156
00:06:03,039 --> 00:06:05,520
sporting good and buy a gun or
157
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,520
there's a hunting store around here
158
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,080
called cabela's you know and you can get
159
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,960
a gun there like i can walmart even well
160
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:14,639
i don't think walmart does that anymore
161
00:06:14,639 --> 00:06:16,960
but whatever you can get guns
162
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,319
pretty much anywhere if you are of age
163
00:06:20,319 --> 00:06:22,479
they're widely accessible
164
00:06:22,479 --> 00:06:23,919
anyways like i said i don't really know
165
00:06:23,919 --> 00:06:25,360
where the political part of that was so
166
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,120
i don't want to get into guns and all
167
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,080
that stuff too much but in this story
168
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,960
nothing about the weapons that they used
169
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,440
struck me as odd or strange i gave this
170
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,440
book four stars
171
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:38,319
uh
172
00:06:38,319 --> 00:06:39,440
cons
173
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:40,800
was that
174
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,880
apparently the political aspect whatever
175
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,639
the heck that was like i said i didn't
176
00:06:44,639 --> 00:06:46,960
see that but i do know it's a big
177
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,120
talking point with a lot of people
178
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,919
and it was kind of slow the story did
179
00:06:51,919 --> 00:06:54,400
not move as quickly as i hoped it would
180
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:55,360
it was
181
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,360
and i was listening to an audio version
182
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,560
so it definitely moved at a snail's pace
183
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,880
especially the second half and the
184
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,120
ending
185
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:06,800
it was
186
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,800
the only reason i didn't give this five
187
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,120
stars was because of the ending and it's
188
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,039
not because the endings are
189
00:07:13,039 --> 00:07:14,000
was
190
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,160
bad i mean we all know that king doesn't
191
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,319
do great endings like it's a hit or miss
192
00:07:18,319 --> 00:07:19,280
with him
193
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,919
but the ending with this was like and
194
00:07:21,919 --> 00:07:23,440
maybe this is like a little bit of a
195
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,160
spoiler but in the end everything went
196
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:27,520
completely
197
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,800
back to the way it was like
198
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,599
it really didn't do anything so
199
00:07:33,599 --> 00:07:35,360
uh and we don't really know why either
200
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,240
we don't really get an answer on that
201
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:42,319
but anyways uh so i wasn't a huge fan of
202
00:07:42,319 --> 00:07:44,479
how they wrapped everything up and i
203
00:07:44,479 --> 00:07:46,720
wasn't really jazzed on the pacing this
204
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,440
could have been a lot smaller of a book
205
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:50,879
and i you know i probably would have
206
00:07:50,879 --> 00:07:52,960
liked it a little bit more pros i i
207
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,039
liked it i liked the story i liked the
208
00:07:55,039 --> 00:07:56,240
idea
209
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,599
uh that was presented to us and i liked
210
00:07:59,599 --> 00:08:01,199
how
211
00:08:01,199 --> 00:08:03,360
how they i don't know it worked it
212
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,199
worked to some extent and i just liked
213
00:08:05,199 --> 00:08:08,000
it i liked how that came out um
214
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,000
from what i hear though
215
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,479
uh owen king didn't really write this
216
00:08:12,479 --> 00:08:15,120
book at all it was really just stephen
217
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,160
king and because owen had an idea this
218
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,560
was his idea for a book and he kind of
219
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,240
told his dad
220
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,319
how that would look i think originally
221
00:08:24,319 --> 00:08:26,080
they were going to make this a show like
222
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,039
a tv show and and not a book
223
00:08:29,039 --> 00:08:32,640
but uh owen wanted to delve into each
224
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,039
character's life a little bit more so it
225
00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:36,640
ended up turning into a book instead of
226
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,719
a screenplay i'm pretty sure i'm pretty
227
00:08:38,719 --> 00:08:40,640
sure that's how it um
228
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,880
the first
229
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,440
half or the beginning steps to this book
230
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:46,800
went
231
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,399
so those are my thoughts on this book
232
00:08:48,399 --> 00:08:49,920
honestly though i wouldn't really
233
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,360
recommend this to many people because
234
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,519
especially if you like king i don't
235
00:08:55,519 --> 00:08:57,839
think this is a good book especially
236
00:08:57,839 --> 00:08:59,519
like don't start off here like whatever
237
00:08:59,519 --> 00:09:00,959
you do don't start with this book if
238
00:09:00,959 --> 00:09:02,320
you're go if you want to jump into
239
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:03,600
king's work
240
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,600
it's i want to say like whimsical but
241
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,279
it's not even really whimsical i don't
242
00:09:07,279 --> 00:09:09,839
know what to call it but it's very
243
00:09:09,839 --> 00:09:12,640
i feel like only like a very small group
244
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,320
of people would like this book that's
245
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,399
what i got for you guys i hope you
246
00:09:16,399 --> 00:09:18,880
