OMG OMG!!! and this is on my anniversary too!! think its a sign!
pickI was lucky enough to get my hands on this book coming out in Oct. 3 extraordinary things happened.
1) I stayed up til the wee hours of the night, unable to put this down.
2) I was left thoroughly unnerved by nothing more than my imagination running wild as this story had gotten under my skin.
3) A plot twist I never saw coming forced me to lay the book down, walk away & quietly contemplate how many other things I've gotten so completely wrong.
so-so3 stars.
I liked it overall but didn't love it.
Large sections could've been removed or heavily edited to the benefit of the story. Loved the relationship between Christopher and his mom. The creep factor is a slow burn but by the end I had actual goosebumps.
Heavily influenced by old school Stephen King, this is a horror story focusing on good vs. evil building to a Biblical battle.
I'm so torn on how to rate this! I had to adjust my expectations going in since his novel PERKS is my all-time favorite book and this is not only 20 years later but also a horror novel.
I didn't love it. In fact, it would certainly be a pan if not for the last 20% of the book. If I'm being honest, I wouldn't have even made it that far in this 700+ page book if it weren't by Chbosky.
Positives: Major Stephen King vibes: creepy, old school horror.
The most highly anticipated book of the year for me. I've been waiting TWENTY YEARS for new Chbosky and it's a horror story 🤗
Starting an ARC thanks to the publisher & NetGalley!
Nasty head cold means finding a warm, sunny spot with a cup of tea and an excellent horror novel ✅✅✅
pickChobosky has said that he loves Stephen King and that influence is clear in both the style and length of this novel. The early part of this novel feel a lot like King's short story The Body (made into the movie Stand By Me) and The Stranger Things vibe of the early novel changes into a more traditional horror which morphs into a classic 1980's horror movie bent (complete with biblical references) by the end. #netgalley
I miss my bookstore job terribly, so I am super excited that my former coworkers sent me this ARC!!! The Perks of Being a Wallflower is my all-time favorite book, and I can‘t wait to read this one!!
The Perks of Being a Wallflower is my favorite book of all-time and I am just so excited to start Chbosky‘s second ever novel. And it‘s horror! 700 pages with tiny font size coming my way, SO pumped 💪🏽
@bookandcat and @TsundokuAleax Here are a few choices for the next round. Do any of these particularly interest you?
I have about 40 pages left in Heart of Iron and then it will be on its way.

After 20 years the author of The Perks of Being a Wallflower puts out another book. This will be released on October 1st but it is going on my #TBR list right now.
Evening reading: Getting ready to start this one. Wild to think that it has been almost 20 years since his last one.📚❤️📚
