Decent entertainment.
Thinner is a good story where nobody wins. I enjoyed it, but it was really just okay.
This book was much too short to be a slog, but the last 10% was pretty good, especially the very end.
Also just yikes at the “evil gypsies” as the villains here. Definitely wouldn't fly today hahaha
5.5/10
Idk how Stephen King is probably the most famous author yet his average ratings are usually 3-4 stars. This book is outstanding. Probably because he kept it around 300 pages which is where he works best. Just gets to the point with no filling!
Billy is an over weight lawyer that accidentally ran over an old gypsy woman. The judge let's him off easy so the Gypsy's put a curse on him, making him continuously lose weight no matter how much he eats. At first it was a blessing but now it's getting dangerous. The story follows Billy trying to find the Gypsies and get his cursed removed. They may remove the curse but there are always consequences to remove a curse...
