Format:Taschenbuch
Under normal circumstances, I would hail Stephen King as a great writer, at least within his own genre. He's imaginative, original and intelligent. But, "Thinner" was a horrible excuse for a book. It was written more like a bad TV-movie than a story to be enjoyed by his hardcore fans. Well, I'm not a hardcore anything.
Perhaps if the last half of the book wasn't spent chasing the Gypsies Matlock-style it wouldn't have been so bad. Needless to say, I was entirely bored with Halleck and Ginelli's shenannigans(sp?).
Furthermore, I think Stephen King should watch his ethnic stereotypes. All this book needed to validate it as a piece of dog turd was the tiresome cliche that Ginelli was:a gangland type killer. Mr. King's white-guy-makes-good status is getting to his head.

Format:Audio CD
I like the story, I like the reader - but everyone who buys this audiobook should be aware of the fact that contrary to what it says on the cover it is NOT unabridged. If you need any proof, check for example chapter 10: The first pages (5 in my paperback edition) are missing. Besides, the names of the chapters are mysteriously not read out; the pun of the chapter titled "The Scales of Justice" is therefore simply lost.
Format:Taschenbuch
Throughout the course of this book, we are faced with characters dealing with moral problems. The book's main character, Billy Halleck, accidentally kills an old Gypsy woman in the road while his wife is performing a certain sexual acts on him. The Judge and the Chief of Police let Halleck off without so much as a slap on the wrist. The woman's father, Tadus Lemke, decides to take vengeance into his own hands, and casts a "curse" on Halleck.The book describes his dramatic weight loss, which is the basis of the curse, as well as his hunt for Lemke's Gypsy Band, and the exciting confrontations that occur thereafter. This is an exciting and riveting book for anyone with a shred of emotion or mental capacity. I recommend you buy this book at all costs, you won't be disappointed!

Great story, weak writing
While the writing in Thinner isn't what I would consider the strongest - several times, the action seems to grind to a halt to go into needless detail - the story redeems this... Lesen Sie weiter...

Boring says it all
This book was boring. Most of it concerned the main character chasing an old gypsy through New England so he could take a curse away. Lesen Sie weiter...

Different, but still very good.
This is a little different than most of Kings books. There is a lot less character development, it just jumps right into the story. Lesen Sie weiter...
