This “superbly crafted…extraordinary” (Booklist) #1 New York Times bestseller from Stephen King, writing as Richard Bachman, “pulsates with evil…[and] will have you on the edge of your seat” (Publishers Weekly).

Attorney Billy Halleck seriously enjoys living his life of upper-class excess. He’s got it all—an expensive home in Connecticut, a loving family…and fifty extra pounds that his doctor repeatedly warns will be the death of him. Then, in a moment of carelessness, Halleck commits vehicular manslaughter when he strikes a jaywalking old woman crossing the street. But Halleck has some powerful local connections and gets off with a slap on the wrist…much to the fury of the woman’s mysterious and ancient father, who exacts revenge with a single word: “Thinner.”

Now a terrified Halleck finds the weight once so difficult to shed dropping effortlessly—and rapidly—by the week. Soon there will be nothing left of Billy Halleck…unless he can somehow locate the source of his living nightmare and reverse what’s happened to him before he utterly wastes away… Thriller & Suspense Horror Supernatural Scary Suspense Fiction Paranormal Exciting Genre Fiction Movie, TV & Video Game Tie-Ins

Watched the movie right after finishing the book, and boy did they mess that story up for the big screen! This book is really great, you can follow the main character as he transforms from dopey fatty to desperate, betrayed loner on a mission to save his life. The movie tried too hard to stay true to the source material and ended up a jumbled mess.

Amazing book, terrible movie!

Love it. I even watched the movie which was cheesy but, I love the simple creepiness King spun on this.

Very creepy

Me and my siblings loved this movie as a kid. As with most of his adaptations, the book is better than the movie. Highly recommend

Better than the movie

Good read, not one of my favourites but good. I think I was just a little impatient to have it move on from him losing weight. Just wanted the momentum to get going. And it did when other characters where introduced and the story line moved forward. Once the ball got rolling it took off. And it was a good read.
