   A very good reading
   Gwendy’s Final Task – (2022)•The chapter text of the Button Box trilogy sees the return of Stephen King to close the circle that began with the first episode of this short saga.•A project that began as an independent story but which, going forward, has turned into a true unicum and novel of growth of the protagonist.•Kingh’s multiverse returns to these pages right from the cover. Gwendy now 64 years old is called to carry out an important mission to save our world and other connected worlds through the pivot that holds the balance: The Black Tower.•”There are other worlds besides this” reveals little Jack to Roland at the end of the first chapter of the last knight; and here too this memorandum returns slavishly.•We encounter numerous references to the Tower. The N 19, the TET corporation which is the name of the space boy with whom Gwendy will carry out her task, Many Flagg, the name of the mission and the men in yellow overcoats. For those who have read the long and demanding saga, they are a delight for the eyes and the senses.•As always, however, in addition to clear and more or less explicit references, King also talks about something else.Gwendy, you suffer from a severe ailment in this present. Alzheimer’s is prevalent and increasingly invasive in memory estimation. The box gives, the box takes away.•As in Elevation, in addition to the issue of inclusiveness, the thorny topic of what to do when a degenerative disease hits the patient, it would be more appropriate to do, is addressed. I noticed a reference to precisely these issues, such as those addressed to euthanasia. Those who know the ending of Elevation will last to grasp the connection. So it happens here with Gwendy.•We live in a society in which the free will of choice in some extreme cases is still the subject of discussion and debate on what is best to opt in the face of such an eventuality.•And as always, King uses his characters to guide his thinking probably, even on similar issues.•I cannot say more. Read it to the end and you will understand. Recommended? Yes, absolutely!Find me on Instagram by searching:@pennywise792 to find out all the Stephen King reviews

   One really needs to know that GWENDY’S FINAL TASK is the finale of a trilogy and that one really needs to have read the first two GWENDYs before this one, and also that the first and last are co-written by Stephen King and Richard Chizmar, with the middle one written by Chizmar alone. All the novels are, at least for Stephen King, very short, almost novella length. But they are all tasty as the tiny magic chocolates than the magical Button Box dispenses.In the first, GWENDY’S BUTTON BOX, 12 year old Gewndy Peterson meets an odd little man wearing a Bowler hat in the park. After a rather length palaver, the stranger, Richard Farris (in all of KIng’s novels dating back to THE STAND, character’s with the initials RF are never simply what they seem), gives Gwendy a little wooden box studded with different color push buttons and 2 levers on the side. One lever dispenses miraculous exquisitely shaped tiny chocolates in the form of some animal, aways different. The chocolates are the most delicious ever, and have some other interesting properties. The other lever dispenses an 1891 silver dollar. The buttons are a different matter, and Farris tells Gwendy how they work and how incredibly dangerous they are. And then Farris is gone.Gewndy makes use of the Button Box a few times in the first two novels, relinquishing the box back to Farris at the end of each. Here, in GWENDY’S LAST TASK, Gewndy is a US Senator and a past member of of the House of Representatives, and for the first time in over 20 years, Farris reappears with the dreaded Button Box. He looks very different, older, sicker than the last time and gives the box to Gewndy with a specific set of instructions.Anything else would be a real spoiler, but it should come as no surprise to any Stephen King fans that he frequently refers back to other works in his oeuvre and GWENDY’S FINAL TASK is no exception, being closely tied to THE DARK TOWER novels, the novella LOW MEN IN YELLOW COATS, and a couple of others. The plot is great, at 278 pages this is the longest of the Gwendy novels and, I think, the best.I could tell that this isn’t solely Stephen King’s writing, but just barely. The ideas, pacing and writing are so similar to pure SK (as was the case with GWENDY’s MAGIC FEATHER) that King and Chizmar could probably (and did probably on occasion) finish each other’s sentences, while talking or writing.Very Highly Recommended.JM Tepper

   As a massive long time fan of the great Stephen King, I was intrigued to see what the collaboration with Richard Chizmar was going to produce. And was very pleasantly surprised to find that the Gwendys Button Box trilogy was a great success. To be honest (and of course he must have had some!) I cannot see where Richards input to the story appears, as the writing pattern and narrative is very clearly Stephen King and there are many references to his previous novels. Perhaps the idea was Richards. I may never know. But what a brilliant tale of Gwendys life and family, regrets and happy memories. Such a lovely character with the weight of the world on her shoulders!
