1922

Loved. Good book.

Enjoyed the Steven King book!

I thought it was a good and interesting story. A year that the main character would like to forget, if he could.

I love this author as never disappointing. Well written and is a page turner. Lots of twists and keeps you guessing. Highly recommended if you love psychological thrillers!

I enjoyed this book very much. I haven't read many of his lately. I have been more in to Dean Koontz. I am ready to try more of his now.

As usual, Stephen King's writing paints a vivid picture. The story is written so well, and will leave you cringing! I had nightmares the night I finished this book and intermittently since. I wouldn't have it any other way!

Not my favorite King book. It didn’t grab me right from the beginning and The main character was not that likeable. It could have moved faster. However, it was a sane and satisfying ending that I leaned into from the middle to the end. It was just the beginning that dragged a bit. Still worth a read

I enjoyed Stephen King's "1922", mostly out of nostalgia for the Midwest (the story is set in Nebraska, I'm from Iowa.) I've not read all of King's work, but I think it's fair to say I've read most of it, and "1922" is very good, not the best, but very good. The King books I like best are the ones where I can relate directly to the main character or main characters. This book centers around two main characters who have jointly committed an act of murder, but the story goes beyond the murder itself. To me, the story also reflects harsh and lonely times in the Midwest just after the First World War, and the sometimes difficult choices that must be made in order to survive. Not for a minute do I condone murder; I am referring to difficult choices in a rural lifestyle in a small town, in a time where there is no internet, there are no smartphones, and no cable tv, with limited communication choices, period. A time of financial trouble, and strained marriages.For a novel class in high school, our teacher assigned us to read Fyodor Dostoyevsky's "Crime and Punishment." The theme of that book was that an individual committed an act of murder, and he considers himself free of the crime, as he has (in his mind) committed the perfect crime. In the end, he fails, not because of excellent law enforcement work, but his guilt overwhelms his conscience. The book "1922" brought back this theme to me, and King has done well in threading it through this story.
