I really liked Heart-Shaped Box but this book wasn't quite up to that quality of writing. I'm not giving up on Joe Hill and will definitely be checking out his future efforts.Ignatius "Ig" Perrish wakes up one morning with horns protruding from his scalp and people suddenly start telling him their ...

I read this book because it's being made into a film with one of my favourite actors. I have never read any of Joe Hill's other books, though I can tell from this that his writing style is very similar to his father's (Stephen King). Sorry, Joe. It's not a bad thing, it's just very clear that th...

I really liked the premise and the book. This was a fast-paced, engrossing read. Although, the pop-culture references and corny jokes were at times a bit much.

This book was trying to be two things at once and ended up failing at both. It was trying to be a creepy devil story and at the same time a thriller, and it either needed to be separated into two books or blended better.It was interesting in parts, but it just didn't work for me.

I bought Horns after reading a wonderful review by Chris Farnell at http://floor-to-ceiling-books.blogspot.com Thanks Chris!Containing one of the most original and intriguing premises I've ever read, Horns is a highly unusual book that explores the grey areas of good and evil using a mix of dark hu...
