| Description (by producer & GT in English only) : | | Billy Halleckin sisuksiin oli iskenyt jokin käsittämätön vaiva, vaarallisempi kuin syöpä... Kolmen viikon kuluttua hän oli laihtunut viisitoista kiloa. Kuukauden kuluttua melkein kolmekymmentä. Hän söi tukevia aterioita, ahmi pusseittain karamelleja töissä ja juustonaksuja kotona mutta paino laski aina vain. Eikä hän voinut kertoa kenellekään syytä siihen: että hänet oli kirottu...
"Sykkii pahuutta... pitää sinut kuin tulisilla hiilillä!"

| Notes : | Thinner is a horror novel by American author Stephen King, published in 1984 by NAL under King's pseudonym Richard Bachman. The story centers on morbidly obese lawyer Billy Halleck, who, driving carelessly, kills an old Romani woman while she is crossing the street. He escapes legal punishment due to his connections, but the woman's 106-year-old father then curses Halleck to physically waste away, and the lawyer must find a way to undo the curse. King, who was overweight at the time of the novel's writing, created the novel’s outline following an annual medical examination.
Following the book's release, media outlets discussed the similarities between the works of Bachman and King. Eventually, bookstore clerk Stephen Brown, a fan of King's work, located evidence from copyright data held in the Library of Congress that Bachman and King were the same person. After the secret of King's pseudonym was revealed, sales of Thinner increased tenfold. In total, over three million copies of Thinner have been sold. Critical reception to Thinner was polarized; some reviewers disliked the authorship deception and pessimistic ending, while others held these same points as merits of the book. The literary style, however, was generally praised. A film adaptation was released in 1996. | Romani lines translated by Henkka.
Edition number is not mentioned on the book. | |
