 Finally back on my journey to read through Stephen King's bibliography!

I apparently have read this book before but I genuinely don't remember any of the story itself. My rating of it the first time was not good and I seemed to have been confused by the story. After reading a second time I have a better appreciation for the book and story that was told. Roland, The Gunslinger, is the definition of a complicated man with a task. He only sees the goal, chasing The Man in Black and heading to The Tower. Everything and anything along the way is merely a distraction. The unintended collateral damage that The Gunslinger inflicts while following the Man in Black is just devastating. I felt horrible for Allie and OBVIOUSLY I felt destroyed by Jake leaving. Not only did he leave my boy behind but literally stepped over his hand reaching out for help like that is cold! I enjoyed the conversation that he had with the Man in Black, even though I was slightly confused by it. And I DO NOT CARE if people are out there like "this is so obvious" it isnt to me and if that makes me dumb then so be it. I enjoyed the story and I was slightly confused but I look forward to the next book. 4.25/5

Alas, I'm here again, on this app and just continuing to read this mans... attraction to machinery? Or at least objects. Anywho, here's my detailed review of this book with a title that takes longer for me to say than the book. But not really, obviously. 
So we jump right in where Tatiana is speaking to a sentient Photocopier, why it is sentient, I don't know. But she's SUPER positive this thing wants to fuck her cause it says her name in a flirty way like all the other dudes in the office who flirt with her. Again, how a Photocopier can convey tone let alone flirtation, escapes me. But also my fault for expecting logic. So they flirt and he makes her copies she gives to her boss and the boss sucks and calls her Tats, terrible, would infuriate me so I get her pain. The next day the Photocopier flirts with her again and is like "you should come back after hours" on the third day she makes copies, gives to her boss and found out the Photocopier printed some weird like about villains and then her boss pukes everywhere and she's left to clean it up. Gives absolutely no reason for this man to have ejectiled vomit everywhere, moved on from that quickly cause though it was added, had nothing to do with the plot. She goes home, cleans up and then goes back to work to finally get it on with the Photocopier. Another side note, one of many, I would NEVER want to have sex after watching someone throw up and having to clean it up, like I don't even think she showered! Anywho, she sits on top of his area where the copying happens and then like opens up, idk how else to describe it and gets off by like a cog or some piece in the machine? Then she finishes and we're reminded hes also a 3D printer so he prints her a penis, that's...life like? And she gets on her knees and the Photocopier is somehow rocking "his hips" and whilst climaxing she's like I should steal so we can run away and the Photocopier then is like oh theft detected and for lack of a better word, gobbles her up. She goes into the machine and they combine somehow? Idk it was incredibl
y confusing and she had like the dick in her mouth and they're combining and the Photocopier says this is the only way we can be together. The end. I'm officially done with this author and his...stories. Feel like that's an insult to stories but whatever.

 You know I have read some really out there stuff, like f***ing dinosaurs and having tampon blood rubbed on your chest. Never was I prepared for this.
I want to live in a world where I can ask my rich friend for a ship to leave Earth and they would give it to me. Anywho, Tyson is on Pluto and Pluto is like yeah there is an element off the Earth periodic table missing let me show you and Tyson is like yeah sure. Pluto then creates an orofice that Tyson can fuck, and he does! Pluto requests Tysons man lava and he obliges. Pluto wants to fuck Tyson but obviously that is physically impossible. Then the ship he arrived on (shaped like a penis with milky white fluid in the balls btw) offers to connect with Tyson so they can feel Pluto f***ing them. Pluto enters through the airlock and then proceeds to jizz white lava inside the ship and Tyson, connected to the ship, makes the white milky fuel release. They confess their love for each other but Tyson and the ship soon realize Pluto's lava jizz is not good for the ship. But SHOCKINGLY Paris, the woman who built the ship, comes out of hiding and saves the day. They leave poor Pluto after the planet confessed their love to Tyson and Tyson does not care. Then they leave to go to Neptune to get fuel. 
It was a book I read and I have abused my privilege of eye sight.

 Another book I read due to not only expanding my genre taste but also reading new authors due to BHM. I really enjoyed the premise of this book! I found it so compelling and wanting more but found that the way it ended and how much was given was perfect. I really liked the FMC and was furious with everyone in Robotown. I listened to the book, highly recommended, so I do not know how to spell any of the characters names. Short and sweet but an amazing read and I definitely want to read more by this author.
