Interpretation Conducive To Books Roadwork

Barton Dawes’ unremarkable but comfortable existence suddenly takes a turn for the worst. Highway construction puts him out of work and simultaneously forces him out of his home. Dawes isn’t the sort of man who will take an insult of this magnitude lying down. His single-minded determination to fight the inevitable course of progress drives his wife and friends away while he tries to face down the uncaring bureaucracy that has destroyed his once comfortable life.

Appraise Based On Books Roadwork

**The Stephen King Goodreads Discussion Group is doing a re-read of his works from the beginning to the end. Its been a long time since I have really immersed myself in Uncle Stevies world, but a rate of a book a month, I am all in. My goal is to read and review each one with as much honesty and reflection that I can give. ** Background Roadwork was originally published as a paperback original in 1981 under Stephen Kings pseudonym, Richard Bachman. It is a shorter length book. My paperback copy

Stephen King novella, aka Richard Bachman, that was not the kind of story I enjoy. It wasn't for me. Stephen King writing as Richard does not bare fruit I enjoy.

Update - 8/25/2019 - Re-readFirst read: 2 starsSecond read: 3.5 starsThis is probably the shortest time between reads for a King book I have ever done. Also, it is the first time I have Re-read a book where the first time I read it was also tracked on Goodreads.I tried to give this one an extra special chance this time. King had been quoted as saying this was his favorite of the Bachman Books. I really wanted to go into it and discover that my first experience was completely wrong.

My feelings are really smack dab in the middle on this book. I didn't love it but I didn't hate it either. I thought some parts were interesting but for the most part, I found it quite pointless if I'm being completely honest. It seemed like something that should have been a short story but was stretched needlessly into a full length novel. Normally I always love King/Bachman's characters but they left a lot to be desired in this story. I had a hard time finding anything to like about any of

In my rereading of King's work, this, along with Eyes of the Dragon and The Tommyknockers, was one of the novels I was kind of dreading, because, though I remembered very little of the novel, I distinctly remember being somewhat bored with it and flat out not liking it much.Yeah, well, that was the young me. The unmarried me. The me that hadn't been a father. The me that had been too young to, on occasion, look back on his life and wonder what it all meant.This time, this novel resonated quite

Stephen King, considered "roadwork" one of his not so good novels. I want to disagree with His majesty . Lots of readers thought that it would have been a fine short story, but it failed as a novel. I object to that. For me, "it" and "the stand" would be better if they were "less" ,but "roadwork" is exactly the right size.Because it is real life. In 300 or so pages, it holds the full extension of human vulnerability and despair, in front of painfull fate ,grievous blows of life and the system's

Another classic Bachman/King. The protagonist slowly is loosing his mind since bureaucracy and felt harassment get him out of job and family. A very realistic read. I still remember clearly The Rolling Stone record 'Let it Bleed' that was constantly played by Barton Dawes on his way to madness. You feel for this character as you have him very lively before your mental eye. One of the strongest character studies Bachman/King ever did. Very strong book. Absolutely recommended!
