Valjeanne: A real page-turner collaboration between Peter Straub and Stephen King! More "flipping" between alternate dimensions, shape-shifting good guys and bad guys, and a hero you'll love. :-)
It's been many years since my last Stephen King read, but it was like riding a bike: a hero, a journey with scary thrills, and a happy ending. I hear they're making a series out of this—produced by the Duffer Brothers (that's right, Stranger Things)—and cannot wait to see it. ( )
Prior to picking this book up recently I'd swear up and down that I'd read it, not once but twice. However, I am beginning to doubt that as I remembered nothing of the novel after about 50 pages in.
For some reason I had a really hard time making my way through this book. Not because it is bad but more due to pacing issues. Also, going into this knowing it was written by King and Straub kept me distracted at times since I spent a bit of bandwidth trying to guess which portions were written by each. Most of the book seemed to bog down at times but the last 100 pages or so really made up for it and tied up the story nicely. Overall, a good book but not as great as I (falsely?) remember. ( )
I had a real problem with this book. The lead character's dialog wasn't working for me. I couldn't "hear" it. The part just before the end was pretty good. I suspect Stephen King wrote that part. I am going to state Peter Straub wrote the parts I did not enjoy. The last few pages I only read the first sentence every every paragraph. I wanted to know how it ended, but it wasn't worth it. Oh well, hope my next book is better. 9,326 members; 4,01 average rating; 3/20/2023 ( )

Well, when Tom and me got to the edge of the hilltop, we looked away down into the village and could see three or four lights twinkling, where there was sick folks, may be; and stars over us was sparkling ever so fine; and down by the village was the river, a whole mile broad, and awful still and grand. -Mark Twain, Huckleberry Finn
My new clothes was all greased up and clayey, and I was dog-tired. -Mark Twain, Huckleberry Finn

When he remembered to turn and look for it, the Talisman was gone.
Conclusion: So endeth this chronicle. It being strictly the history of a boy, it must stop here; the story could not go much further without it becoming the history of a man. When one writes a novel about grown people, he knows exactly where to stop-that is, with a marriage; but when he writes about juveniles, he must stop where he best can.
Most of the characters who perform in this book still live, and are prosperous and happy. Some day it may seem worthwhile to take up the story again and see what . . . they turned out to be; therefore, it will be wisest not to reveal any of that part of their lives at present. -Mark Twain, Tom Sawyer.

Buchbeschreibung
Stephen King und Peter Straub, die beiden bedeutenden zeitgenössischen Horror- und Fantasy-Autoren, schrieben gemeinsam diesen spannenden Roman, in dem Idylle und Entsetzen nahe beieinanderliegen.
Quer durch die Vereinigten Staaten, aber auch quer durch eine imaginare, bizarre Gegenwelt – die „Region" – führt die abenteuerliche Reise des zwölfjährigen Jack Sawyer auf der Suche nach dem geheimnisvollen Gegenstand, der beiden Welten das Heil zurückbringt: dem Talisman.
In beiden Welten hat Jack Gefahren zu überwinden, aus denen ihn oft nur das "Flippen" rettet: der Sprung in die jeweils andere Welt. Horror und Fantasy durchdringen sich in einer Geschichte von faszinierendem Bilderreichtum und atemberaubender Spannung. [Rückentext]
