So my coworker said that really odd things started happening to him and his wife when he began to read the books that creeped them out so much that he stopped.
Did anyone have anything like this? He said basically he would be reading a passage and then something similar to what he read/was referenced would happen in his life.
This is the reason I haven't read the books, which I'm sure seems silly.
Apart from that, is it a good series?

Omg yeah I was reading the second one and then a gigantic mutant lobster came out of nowhere and bit off a couple of my fingers!!!
But seriously, yes, it’s one of my favourite series of all time.
This is basic pattern recognition – it’s the same way you’ll have a pregnancy scare and then see pregnant women everywhere you go. They were always there, you just didn’t notice them before because you weren’t thinking about pregnancy.
Once we put a special meaning on something, say a dripping tap or a person in a black coat, our brains flag every occurrence of that thing because we’ve programmed the brain to do that.
The books are great. They aren’t magically imbued.
Its one of the best series! It is the center of King’s entire universe, literally and figuratively, and the characters are fantastic. Cannot recommend it enough!
You’re being weird. Just read them. I was gripped from go to woe.
Having said that, I wasn’t keen on the ending, but I reckon a lot of readers must have loved it. 🙂
