NOS4R2 - Joe Hill

NOS4R2- Joe Hill

I should have posted this before Christmas but never could get so far as to do it, sorry. This book was me getting into Christmas spirit,  yes sure it is a dark turn to get into Christmas spirit with NOS4R2 but hey that is me :)

So this is my firt Joe Hill novel I read and... I LOVED IT! The writing style is great, the characters is very "real" and believable, the plot is amazing.
I would say that if you loved Doctor Sleep by Stephen King then you would most certainly love NOS4R2.  The writing style is very similar. 

The way how the book title gives a bit away but not enough,  so don't jump to conclusions. I like the way Hill incorporated some of his dad's work into this novel.

PRACTICAL MAGIC - Alice Hoffman

Who in their right mind doesn't love the witchy Owen sisters with their fun loving aunts? Now the thing is that the movie and book is completely different. So this only ever happened twice so far, where I pick the movie over the book. Okay don't get the wrong the book a pleasant enough read and the story was good BUT the movie, oh the movie was amazing. I honestly don't think the movie would have been such a huge success if they kept to the story in the book. The movie is just so much more fun and family love where the book is a bit dry and just ugh... Not ugh in a total bad way but nothing compares to the movie. So I watched the movie long before I got hold of the book and so when I read the book it was dry and a bit disappointing so I would recommend to FIRST read the book and then go and enjoy the awesome movie. But if it happens that you already saw the movie - still ready the book. Would make you appreciate it more.

NOS4R2

NOS4R2 - just a number plate or something much more? This was an amazing story and you can see that talent run in the King family... The story takes place around Christmas. Also about a young girl with a gift that turns into a woman and then a black car and an extremely creepy guy that drives the car. I can't say much more or go into detail as it will give the story away and ruin it. I read this in a few short days and also around Christmas a few years back, you know to get into the Christmas spirit. Seeing this photo and thinking about all the weird and dark twists and turns in this book wants me to read it again, plus it is almost Christmas again. So people that know me can tell you that I love Stephen King and Horror (also coffee) so it just came natural to me to pick up this Joe Hill book and so glad that I did because he clearly got it from his daddy... This was my first Joe Hill book and by far not the last one I will get. I love his writing style and his stories i

THE CABIN IN THE WOODS

  Who doesn't love a good cliché? I know I love them especially when it comes to my horror movies. Don't get me wrong I love horrors, all of them, but their is just something about a jock, slut, scholar, virgin and the fool. So I did also watch the movie of course and loved it and this book is just the novel version of the movie. Maybe a little more detailed and of course you can read what they are thinking unlike with movies. So the book is a bit more. I loved this book, no surprise there... Also I would recommend this book to just about every one I can. This book was also a very fast and easy read. I also loved the setting of the book - woods, lake and a small cabin (reminds me a lot of Evil Dead, the original). Okay so the name pretty much says it all about what this book is. it is about a Cabin in the woods and these five college students go to for the weekend. The night starts off as fun but then it takes a turn for the worse when they pick their own way to die as
