(Review from 2023 down below👇🏻 Keine Review auf Deutsch, da die Geschichte nur auf Englisch erhältlich ist.)

For the second time, I read „Charlie the Choo-Choo“ while Jake read it in „The Dark Tower III: The Waste Lands“. Which was really fun, especially since the text is exactly the same. 😁 It was even more like being there with the protagonists.

„Engineer Bob has a secret: his train engine, Charlie the Choo-Choo, is alive … A children’s book and future classic about friendship, loyalty and hard work. Fans of Stephen King’s bestselling series will recognise Charlie, the Choo-Choo, adapted from a section of his novel The Dark Tower III: The Waste Lands.“

Meanwhile I finished the 3rd volume of the series and I think I can see why this childrens book is creepy. 😳🫣 Charlie is not the sweet little choo-choo train that I thought… 😉 Overall I liked that book very much but I can also see, why some people say that there is no point in reading this without reading „The Dark Tower“.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Review from 2023

Charlie the Choo-Choo by Stephen King

I read this short „children‘s book“ without having read „The Dark Tower“-Series yet. I really liked the illustrations and I liked the little story as well. I know that there are for sure some creepy things behind this and I will gladly revisit this one after I read „The Dark Tower“-Series. I guess I never really thought that SK would really write children’s books, so I wasn‘t surprised when Charlie had a set of teeth to let you feel a little creeped out. 😉 Still a fun short story! 👍🏻
