Like most people, I have seen the Stanley Kubrick-directed movie adaptation of The Shining. It's been so many years since I have seen the film, that I don't recall it in great detail, but of course I remember the iconic lines and images most people remember: Danny croaking "REDRUM"; Jack Nicholson's...
There were a couple good moments, so I bumped it up one star, but this is also a Chris Claremont tale - and I expected more. I got it through the Marvel Insider program: you get points for doing things, then can get things like digital comics. I was hoping that Claremont writing Magneto, my favo...
I reread this on audio, narrated by Campbell Scott. I was a kid when I read it the first time and it helped solidify my lifelong love of the horror genre. I hoped it would be as scary as I remembered. Knowing what I now know about Jack after reading Doctor Sleep (if you haven’t read it, you should) ...
I thought I read this book in my teens but the farther I got into it, the more certain I became that I hadn't. I would have remembered how well done Jack's descent into madness was. For me, that was the best part of the book. I did enjoy Danny's parts of the book, and Wendy's to a lesser extent, but...
Reseña: Enero, 20153.5(Esta representación bellísima de Oryx salió de esta página y tiene más dibujos espectaculares basados en el libro.

Snowman is seemingly the last human left on ...
The Reader was a book that I was hesitant to read. I had heard so much about how the plot revolves around the relationship between an adult woman and a 15 year old boy and I thought this would be another 'Lolita' experience - a book that you should read, but will make you uncomfortable. I loved this...
Hemingway uses special "literary techniques" in For whom the Bell Tolls that rather than enhancing the reading experience detract from it. Please see the list below. The ending is totally soppy. You learn nothing about the Spanish Civil War, and a better explanation for why Robert Jordan decided to ...
This is one of those "people sitting around talking deep shit" books. And one of those books that I'd give 2 stars on face value, because I found it mostly pretty boring and pointless and it left me not at all inclined to go rush out and try some more Don DeLillo, yet I still appreciated the craft o...
