I haven't a lot of time so I'm only putting one down for the moment. Not sure if too many people know about this book as it is not a typical King novel, so I gave a brief summery.
The Talisman - 1984 fantasy novel by Stephen King and Peter Straub. This book charts the adventure of a young teen boy named Jack Sawyer. The adolescent hero sets out from Arcadia Beach, New Hampshire in a bid to save his mother, who is dying from cancer, by finding an enchanted crystal called "the Talisman." The premise of the novel involves the existence of a parallel world to Earth, called "the Territories". Individuals in the Territories have "twinners," or parallel individuals, in our world. Twinners' births, deaths, and other major life events are usually paralleled. Twinners can also flip, but only share the body of their alternate universe's analogue. In rare instances (such as Jack Sawyer's), a person may die in one world but not the other, making them "single-natured" and giving them the ability to switch back and forth between the two worlds if taught how. |
