"Home is where they want you to stay longer." A lovely sentiment until it's applied to your eventual eternal home: the Null.
This is one of King's top 5 best to me. I really connected with the religious/moral themes, the rock musician stuff of course, and then that ending. Best King ending ever.
"Home is where they want you to stay longer." That is the line that stood out for me too. Overall I enjoyed the book but it got a bit weird at the end.
Revival by Stephen King himself. Sounds like a good book. It should be turned into a movie. I have read about it on web. Plan to read Revival down the road. Stephen King is the master. It has a Lovecraft feel to it. Starting to read Lovecraft stories. King is the best.
I know this isn't everyone's fave SK book. But this was my first and I am glad it was. It may not have been that typical scary novel, but the dimness of the character, the lack of hope towards the end. The slow burn was amazing, and this really sold how SK writes about small towns, those first chapters showcased the "normalcy" they thought they had, then it just slowly unraveled. To me this really sold the book, slow burn, with a very humane character, then a weird almost not very SK ending just did it for me. On my way to get more SK books for sure.
Just a question I have: for the dark tower series, I know there’s a reading order, but if I read his books in publication order, would that work as well?
I read the book back in February I absolutely enjoyed it this book is definitely one of kings best revival is one of my favorite books of 2022 along with Dolores Claiborne and Billy summers 🌟
I loved this book and couldn’t put it down either. I don’t understand why people didn’t think this book was great…I thought it was absolutely brilliant and it should be in everyone’s top 10
Just finished this book a week ago.. still very much shaken by the last hour of the book! I don’t know what I was expecting but it wasn’t that 💀😭 10 out of 10 would recommend and would re-listen!!
When I first read Revival it was one of my favorites. However, going back it's kind of gone down the list a little for me. I absolutely love the ending, and whenever King writes about religion I there for it. But, looking back the characters really won't that memorable, also the constant time jumps really take me out of the story.
One of my favourites of his! An amazing life story and it has his bleakest ending, and possibly his best ending. I think it’s reputation helped too because I knew it was going to be fucking gnarly and the suspense got so high!!
Fuck I loved this book! I'm an ex heroin/opioid addict that's played played music my whole life so as corny as it sounds I really resonated with Jamie. That ending is insane in all the best ways.
Thanks for this enthusiastic review, though I must admit I stopped watching half way through to avoid spoilers.
I read this in high school during gym class and have fond memories of it. That ending was freaky for sure
In my top ten for sure. Revival was so good. I liked how he played on the names of Mary Fay. MARY Fay, FRANKLIN Fay and Janice SHELLEY.
Great book and another great video. Also love the Metallica reference myself!
This is in my top 5 King. Without a doubt. Top class.
Might be in the minority but I liked the first 1/3, struggled through the 2/3 of the book and liked the last part. Sadly it took me from late November 2020 to mid April 2021 to finish due to that 2/3 of the book. And it was inly 480 pages! 😅 But good review! Maybe a re-read in the future might make me like it more.
Hey brow, do you know if the Mother is the same entity called Mia in the Dark Tower series? Somehow, it seems that she's seeking for her revenge in Revival! Just wondering...
I have some sympathy with the “return to form” idea, just it was, like, his fourth or fifth return to form. I really loved this, the first King I’d read since Under The Dome, which funnily enough was also a return to form.
