The Life of Chuck

Stephen King never lets me dow, such a great book. Was a little thrown of by the size of the book since its so small, but its a great story. Stephen King at his best.

I have been an avid reader of Stephen King since Carrie, 1974. The Life of Chuck, I believe, is one of his more enjoyable short stories. My 4* is because King's short stories are never enough for me. The story is clever from the 1st park bench signs and billboards to the final closing of the cupola door. A quick read that was lacking only for the length.

I wasn't sure what to expect. I haven't seen the movie, although now I definitely want to. I found myself teary several times and ended the book with quite a profound sense of sadness. Just what a good book does!

Stephen King, I bought as a present for my wife, she loved the book.

Good reading. Another added to kings collection.

Good story

Since this is a novella, it’s really hard to write a review without giving away spoilers. With that being said, it was an interesting quick read. MINOR SPOILER: I loved one of the last lines and the point of the story: “I will live my life until my life runs out. I am wonderful, I deserve to be wonderful, and I contain multitudes.”

I realllllllllly liked this book. (The movie adapt isn't too bad either, I mean, Tom Hiddleston dancing and a Stephen King twisted ending? Right??) I really can't get into the plot without giving it away. I guess the best thing to say would be Chuck dances AND if you like a starlit sky, you'll read about that, too. What a great, eerie twist. Well played again, Stephen King. It's an easy, quick read (I've read it twice and I rarely do that). OH! And it's not just a run of the mill short, nope. It's a flip book, too! (Why, yes, I am easily entertained. Thank you for noticing.) The flip book is Chuck dancing in the lower right corner. Forwards and Backwards, over and over. I forgot how simple and fun flip books were. And, as I said, I'm easily entertained. Also, another reason to snag a hardcover once and a while.?

Perfect condition. Hardcover. Between a pocket book and a full height book.

Stephen King. Was kann man dazu schreiben?? Immer wieder Überraschend!

Llego en buen estado. Es un excelente libro. Sólo que Amazon debería esmerarse en empacar mejor los libros. Me llego sin bolsa o plástico protector. Es un milagro que no haya llegado roto o doblado.

This is not a full sized hard cover. But all great condition and value

I saw the film (which is fantastic), and wanted to see how it compared to the book. Full disclosure: I have never read a Stephen King book. I'm glad I did pick this up, as it's a great read. It's short (so pick it up on sale, if you can), but sweet. Something to read between longer books. Reading a book after the film is always a gamble, as you know the general story - there can be a lack of curiosity because you know the plot. I'm glad to say that's not the case here. The quick-fire style of writing, the characters, and the poignancy of the story all keep things ticking along. Very enjoyable. Now, go watch the movie (again, if applicable)!
