Under the Drone?





It's a sad world when a new STephen King book comes out and i have no interest in it whatsoever! He's just released a mini-book called Bronco Billy or something - a baseball book. Having read a couple of baseball-themed SK short stories, I think I'll steer clear...
It's funny though, I'd been thinking of re-reading Under the Drone - maybe a 2nd attempt might improve it, now i know where it's going - and to add to this excitement, I just found out they've released the paperback with four covers - and I think they are pretty stunning!!!! So I think I'll deffo get one of those. Can't decide between the li'l girl and the lady hmmm (is anyone gonna buy the old man??)

To me . . . they look like ads for a church group, or Republican Party campaign ads, which, you know, pretty much the same thing...

i do like them (apart from the old man), it's like a breath of fresh air...
(i got it in sainsburys, i got the lady lol)

Actually, I almost bought this today. Despite all the negative word, I can't let a new King pass me by without reading it, and I've been patiently waiting for the paperback...

I resisted for now... but when I do get round to it, the old man cover would be my choice. Dunno why. Maybe I just feel like an old man most days. (Insert gag here.)

i used to wait for paperbacks too - but found it hard to wait recently...
it's certainly not classic King, and he reaaally needs an Editor... Maybe I'll enjoy it more second time round.
