On the one hand I wanted to keep reading this book to find out what happened at the end. It was an interesting enough story, but on the other hand, the book was way, way too long. If it had been up to me I would have cut at least 300 pages, maybe more. There were a lot of scenes that I thought re...
Definitely a good read. It's very difficult not to compare his writing with the older King; in fact I truly wish I hadn't known who Joe Hill was before I started. So after considering the book and the writing fully on its own merits and not comparing, five stars it is. Looking forward to reading m...
This story is amazing but it did have faults. The first third of the book - Victoria McQueen's youth and beginnings with the bridge - was great and really sucked me into the story. However the second third was kind of sloppy and all over the place. Too much happened with too little details - a lot ...
To feel, but joy.To not fear pain.To lose yourself.What do you gain?by NikkiPre-Ordered~I care not a whit of who wrote this. That being said, it was just good. Not okay, not extraordinarily awesome in its awesomeness, just good.Shit, Vic and her inner turmoil made me want to start using just to get ...
t felt like I was reading a Stephen King novel at times. I did enjoy the book, however. I thought the story was pretty unique. I liked to concept of the inner world and having a way to cross over. The characters were great. I loved Vic and how she was so far from perfect. I think Lou was my fa...
This is Joe Hill's third novel. The first two were excellent horror novels. But this third novel with the funny title should be the one that puts him in the household name department and prove he is no fly-by-night wannabee. Sounds a lot like...There was that other horror writer who shone through on...
This is a really hard review to write because, having really enjoyed Joe Hill's other books, I REALLY wanted to love this book and I didn't. NOS4A2 felt like a story that started out pretty well, then went nowhere for 450 pages. The beginning is strong - we meet Vic, AKA The Brat, a young girl th...
To be fair I don't read horror very often, so familiar plot lines and references to well-known stories that may be enjoyable to fans are completely lost on me. The author, Joe Hill, is apparently the son of Stephen King, which seems to be one reason why this book is getting so much attention. To me,...
