Interpretation To Books The Regulators
**4.5-stars rounded up** To the residents of Poplar Street, in suburban Wentworth, Ohio, July 15, 1996, just seems like any other summer day. The paperboy is dutifully tending to his route, the Reed twins are showing off for some young ladies and the corner store is functioning like a well-oiled machine. Not one of them suspects that the proverbial shitis about to hit the fan. The Regulators are coming to Poplar Street and they're coming for blood! It's hard to imagine a 475-page novel, that takes place over the course of one afternoon, on one suburban street, would make you sweat in anticipation, but this one certainly does. We follow this cast of characters from the minute the Regulators arrive, until the bitter end. Some we love, some we hate, but in the end, no one escapes their fate. You may wonder, yeah, but what's it all about? Trust me when I say, it's best to go into this knowing as little as possible, but for those of you who are just going to insist on knowing more, I will give you this one small clue: (view spoiler)[ It involves a supernatural hitchhiker named Tak, from a mine just outside of Desperation, Nevada, invading the mind of one of the young residents of Poplar Street. You may know Tak from a little story aptly named Desperation by Stephen King. (hide spoiler)] This novel is hella violent and dark, so if that isn't your cup of tea, you may as well just mosey on down the street. This book is only for those with the intestinal fortitude to handle intense scenes of violence. This is actually my second read through and I would definitely recommend reading Desperation and this novel back-to-back. I think the overall experience is enhanced if handled that way. I love them both and for different reasons. A must read combo for King's Constant Readers!List Books Supposing The Regulators

I have to admit I did not resonate with this book at all. I loved Desperation and this was not for me. I rarely like a book he publishes under the Bachman name, only 2 of his novellas are things that I like. Weird right? It is like he writes stories differently as Bachman, but still Stephen King.This is the companion book to Desperation, and although it's listed here as being written by Stephen King, it was actually Richard Bachman. Ha ha, for those of you that know they are one and the same. King/Bachman uses the same character names in both books which makes for an exercise in memory if they are read close together. For the first 100 or so pages I would think of the character from Desperation as the name was recycled in The Regulators. As a testament to his skill, after that point, I
My brain is practically shot. I've been studying all damn day and believe me The Regulators and Food Sanitation doesn't mix well. At some point I will try to give this a more proper review. Until then this will be just fine. If not, sue me.Anyway, The Regulators is a slight step away from its mirror, Desperation. I'm not going to compare the two, you can do that yourself but I will say, they are both good in their own rights. Maybe to long or scattered or the ending didn't work like it should or
I read this in just a few hours- a very fast read, with fast paced action and writing to match. VERY cool to read upon finishing the companion book, 'Desperation'; although this one is not quite as...deep or as layered as 'Desperation', which, frankly, had much more story and better character development. I think that of these 2 novels, 'Regulators' is the weaker book, and maybe this is why Stephen King relegated *this* title to his pseudonym instead of to 'himself'! The entire sequence of

This was my first Stephen King and he hooked me.
