Rendition To Books The Regulators

**4.5-stars rounded up** To the residents of Poplar Street, in suburban Wentworth, Ohio, July 15, 1996, just seems like any other summer day. The paperboy is dutifully tending to his route, the Reed twins are showing off for some young ladies and the corner store is functioning like a well-oiled machine. Not one of them suspects that the proverbial shitis about to hit the fan. The Regulators are coming to Poplar Street and they're coming for blood! It's hard to imagine a 475-page novel, that takes place over the course of one afternoon, on one suburban street, would make you sweat in anticipation, but this one certainly does. We follow this cast of characters from the minute the Regulators arrive, until the bitter end. Some we love, some we hate, but in the end, no one escapes their fate. You may wonder, yeah, but what's it all about? Trust me when I say, it's best to go into this knowing as little as possible, but for those of you who are just going to insist on knowing more, I will give you this one small clue: (view spoiler)[ It involves a supernatural hitchhiker named Tak, from a mine just outside of Desperation, Nevada, invading the mind of one of the young residents of Poplar Street. You may know Tak from a little story aptly named Desperation by Stephen King. (hide spoiler)] This novel is hella violent and dark, so if that isn't your cup of tea, you may as well just mosey on down the street. This book is only for those with the intestinal fortitude to handle intense scenes of violence. This is actually my second read through and I would definitely recommend reading Desperation and this novel back-to-back. I think the overall experience is enhanced if handled that way. I love them both and for different reasons. A must read combo for King's Constant Readers!

Evaluate Based On Books The Regulators

It's been a while since I read this book. I had some pretty fond memories of it, and it's always been my favorite of two companion books that King/Bachman published together. They are alternate realities, kind of mirror images, of each other... But The Regulators is also a link to the Dark Tower universe as well. We have the same characters (plus some new), but in different roles and with different perspectives and personas than we saw in Desperation. We have a different setting, suburban Ohio

This was my first Stephen King and he hooked me.

I read this many years ago and absolutely loved it, I would not re-read books but I'd make an exception for this one.

One of the most frightening and horrible books I've ever read. Oh God, this story unfolds with a kind of unnatural speed and a huge amount of horror. As I was reading, I almost wished i could stop because it was just too scary. I'm really scared of being in a situation where it doesn't seem like there's a way out.What Stephen King/ Richard Bachman does in this book is explore the unnatural beings in the Dark Tower universe and the imagination of a child. He brings together two polar opposites:

Not a bad story, but not very memorable, either. The Regulators is typical Stephen King, with a small town setting and things that aren't always as they seem.

I read more than 150 novels each year and have read most of King's stuff. Obviously, with so much output from one writer, there are bound to be hits and misses. This one was a miss, in my opinion but there is still enough here to make it worth the read.I had already read Desperation, the companion book to this volume, and came away with the feeling that I had just experienced a pretty good King novel. It also was far from his best but I enjoyed it nonetheless. So, naturally, I turned to this

In the end this book picked up and is worth three stars I think. This and the "companion" piece; Desperation is not among the King's more triumphant achievements though. First, I'm having real troubles understanding the idea with a Bachman tie-in to a King book at this late date. Even if even the late Bachman must be allowed to write out of usual style, "The Regulators" is a very far cry (yes, even considering Thinner) from his other stuff. More to the point, the mythos presented herein was
