I can’t think of any way to review this without spoilers, so even though this will be a very brief review, I’m spoiler tagging this entire post. It’s also probably not very coherent, but here it is: [spoiler] The Fireman offers an interesting take on the dystopian post-apocalyptic story. We see ...
I didn’t even read the blurb for this before going in so I knew nothing about it except the title and the cover art. The Fireman turned out to be exactly my kind of book. I love when a story makes me feel. I was angry, devastated, scared, invigorated, deeply touched— I could keep going. The amaz...
So, I haven’t written a review for The Fireman because it’s taken me a while to get my thoughts together for this book. There was a pretty mixed blend of things I liked and things that I didn’t like. First of all, the concept for The Fireman was great. Only my expectations of Harper and the Firema...
I was lucky enough to win a competition That Blackwell's in Holburn was doing for the Preview to Joe Hill's the fireman. I think he popped in there and left a few copies of his preview book. I was so hyped when I won and got a glimpse to the story before the book fully dropped. The preview came with...
Please note that I gave this book 4.5 stars and rounded it up to 5 stars on Goodreads.Well I have to say that I loved this newest by Joe Hill a lot more than "Horns." "The Fireman" takes place in a world similar to ours where a deadly world pandemic that causes spontaneous combustion is wiping out e...

It leaves black & gold marks on the body which will then burst into flames. The story follows Harper, a pregnant nurse, as she endeavors to survive and give birt...
Right from the beginning, it's clear that neither the main character nor the author actually read any of the Mary Poppins books. Unlike Julie Andrews' character in the movie, Mary Poppins in the books is a right bitch. Not a bad book, but the endless callbacks to The Stand got exasperating, the endi...
This was an interesting read (listen) even if it was quite a bit different than my original expectation. Excellent character studies and enough paranormal activity to keep it fun all the way through. Joe Hill certainly was not hesitant to kill off main characters in this novel and some of them were...
2.7 starsI finally finished this ! I liked it (or did I) I am wavering. Dang it was too long, like a visit from my In-laws. My first thought when I finished it was "Finally" There was enough action, enough death and destruction, but it was too closed in. There were too few characters, too few places...
Draco Incendia Trychophyton is the scientific name for what has become known as “Dragonscale.” It’s a spore that is spreading like wildfire, literally, throughout the U.S. When people first contract Dragonscale, they discover black and gold markings on their bodies, somewhat resembling tattoos. They...
