"Amazing writer"
I listened to one short story after another, and then went back and listened to some of them again.
Joe Hill is a wonderful and creative writer. I then learned that he is Stephen King's son, but his talent is his own.
"Great idea, badly done...."
The concept sounded interesting, and this book got some good reviews, so I bought it. I'm not sure I'll finish it though. If I do finish, it will be because I am still hoping that the plot or the characters will be redeemed. I know this is never gong to happen, and I am leaning on the side of deletion. The heroine is not at all believable, unless you are looking for a bad read about an emotionally immature, more than superficial young woman. She has the stupidest thought processes, and does the stupidest things! I don't get the first "savior" at all. The second guy is the only part of the book I like. The narrator sounds as dumb as her character. Does this make her a good reader, or a bad one? It doesn't matter in the end. Don't waste your time on this one.
"Enjoyed this so much"
I loved this book! The characters came alive, the topic is so important. The writing made it so interesting. I highly recommend "The Help."
"Stephen King is back!"
I have not enjoyed King's books since his accident, but this one is as good as his best books. Loved the characters, the settings and the complexities.
"Great read (listen)!"
This is actually a children's book, but I highly recommend it. I fell in love with the main character, Christopher. His autism, perceptions and ways of thinking are so endearing. He is a true hero!
