Stephen KingThe Tommyknockers

The Tommyknockers grips your psyche like no other book, terrible and fascinating. I don't know how these two writers share the page, but it's miraculous. This book is unforgettable.

This book is fun to read, some humor, craziness, mystery…..it’s not the best book I’ve read, but it’s the craziest. Recommend this book to people who like fun, mystery and craziness:)

...just avoid the film adaptation. It was awful. A very good, very strange, and very long read, but absolutely worth the ride.

I have been a huge fan of Stephen King since reading The Long Walk (also one my favorites). I love how the author included relatable characters and it reminds me that not all heros are straight arrows. I would recommend this book to anyone.

There is a picture clearly showing a Steven King autograph on the title page. I received the book today, and there is no autograph. Not sure if this is a purposefully misleading tactic. The book itself is in good condition, the shipping was faster than predicted.

The ending was good and happy, but a lot of people died. I got this bookin September and it took me a month and a half to read it. It was fun and somewhat fast paced to read, bit I had to slow down or Mr. King slowed me down to read the details and the batteries and some of the towns folk.The build up was great as I was wondering why people were losing their teeth,but I soon caught on in the middle. The town and what happened to it caught me off guard a bit; it's ending was similar to Salem's Lot if I'm correct.If you like a good alien story then this is for you despite the final fight scene and chapter being odd and strange.

I read this in 2020. The story was set in 1987. As this book has technology at the heart of the tale, it was interesting to consider what high-tech was considered to be 32 years ago. There were no grand gaffes or anything it was just genuinely interesting.As a story, it was standard King fare - a page turning story with likable characters having weird adventures in Maine. I don't mean that to diminish the story (or King) as I think people expect this and it's part of the appeal. I certainly enjoy it.The only thing that was off-note was a scene when one of the central characters goes on a harangue about nuclear energy at a dinner party. It was so clearly King using the character as a conduit to voice his own concerns - understandable given how proximal the Chernobyl disaster was to the time of this writing. Nonetheless the naked advocacy is transparent and discordant. And long! Man, he went on for what felt like a whole chapter with his diatribe. It felt amateurish, frankly, and reminded me of the closing chapter of Upton Sinclair's The Jungle in which Rudkus meets the communist party leader and the reader is pummeled with a lengthy, zealot's accounting of the miracle of communism/socialism. King (and Sinclair) and myself share similar ideological leanings so it's not the perspective I took issue with, it's the brazen unsubtle attempt to use the character to beat the reader about the head it. I was so annoyed I literally almost put the book down but instead paged forward to when it seemed like the speech was over. After that everything was back on track, and stayed there.Other than that though, like I said, a fun, spooky, scary, witty tale right in the mold of The Master.

I enjoyed the book. I loved his characters. This is a book that most people either love or hate. I fall more into the “love it” camp. If you’re a King fan, then I think it is a must read and then form your own opinion. Lots of readers hate the ending, I liked it.

Envoi parfait, livre en excellent état, juste dommage qu'il ne soit pas sous blister, pour offrir ce serait plus sympa .

Das Buch machte mir Spaß. Es behandelt vielseitige Themen, die Charakterentwicklung ist gut und glaubwürdig und die Handlung ist spannend. Außerdem hat Stephen King eine Menge interessanter Ideen eingebaut. Was eventuell negativ auffallen kann: Das Buch ist recht lang, manchmal langsam und umschweifend, was manchen Lesern vielleicht nicht so gefallen würde. Für mich hat das aber gepasst. Das Buch hat schon einige Jahre auf dem Buckel und die Geräte, die die Aliens bauen lassen, sind aus heutiger Sicht nicht immer so eindrucksvoll wie vielleicht vor 40 Jahren.

100% fulfilled.

I love stephen king books from the age of 9 my first book was the shinning i love fictions compare to supernatural books stephen king is the master of writting hortpr and chillimg books but this book i love it because i love reading science fiction books above all its obviously chilling too

I read this book in the 80s when I was a young adolescent. And now I'm of more mature years, I decided to try it again and I couldn't put it down. I love King's dark humour and sense of irony: he just crams the most subtle gags in among all the scary stuff, and it works like a dream. I remembered the gist of the book, but it was still a fun read, full still of originality that kept me flipping the pages (I use a Kindle so can't really 'turning the pages').I'm hooked on King - the old ones are still alive (or horribly dying, depending on context) and the new ones just get better. Great stuff.
