I enjoyed this book - there were a couple of spots where the story moved slowly for me but overall I liked the idea of the devil in all of us and love, revenge and redemption.
Finished the book and made good progress on His Burial Too - so #20in4 was a success. Thank for hosting @Andrew65
And now I have one book on my May #BookSpinBingo

Make a great day everyone 😀

Reading two books from same family (literally), and a retelling of Wizard of Oz, enjoying all three, but life got in the way recently (although it is fun, good stuff) so I haven't been spending much time reading. Hope to finish all three by end of the month.

This is a fantastic example of book perfection, I have never read anything quite like this one before.

It was unputdownable and the quickest I've ever read a book.

It's a very dark, wicked and entertaining read.

I was initially put off reading this because the book cover I saw had Harry Potter with horns on his head...yeah, no. I should have remembered the old adage: Never Judge a Book by it's Cover!
Yet knowing how much I enjoyed NOS4A2, I gave it a shot.
Glad I did!
What a fun, twisted tale this was!

While the premise was interesting, the first 20 pages had too many slurs in them to make the story even a little enjoyable.

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm Is this the book that the Daniel Radcliffe movie is based on?!? I loved the movie! I had no idea it was a book! ❤️😍❤️ 4y
cleoh @MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm I this so! I haven‘t seen the movie yet but I want to! 4y
cleoh @LiteraryinLititz @Booksy it definitely depends on the book for me, but this was published in 2009 (I think) and 2020 does not need any more encouragement to get worse 4y
cleoh @TheNeverendingTBR glad to hear it! I have no doubt that Joe Hill is a talented writer, I just think this isn‘t the book for me to start reading his work 4y
MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm @cleoh It‘s definitely a very rough watch, but oh my goodness was it worth it! It‘s upsetting and beautiful simultaneously. ❤️😊❤️ If the slurs made you stop the book, however, I may suggest being in a good headspace and maybe having someone there to watch it with. 😅 4y
cleoh @MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm that‘s good to know! I really like horror, but it‘s good to know that I should watch with caution 💜 (edited) 4y

#65 of my year. My first time reading his books and I can‘t wait to dive in! I will try my best not to compare him too much to his fathers books lol 😅 looking forward to hearing his voice as a writer 🧐

phantomx From just reading Joe Hill's Locke & Key series, his writing and storytelling is amazing, and it does feel and sound different from Stephen King's. Most of Joe Hill's characters, even the most minor character, are given important roles, and the worlds he constructs are so vivid, yet frightening. If you like Horns, then I would also recommend reading The Fireman and NOS4R2. 4y
Caffeinated_Reader @phantomx awesome thank you so much. I definitely enjoyed this book. It pulled me in with the humor first. Ig is a hilarious character, complicated too. I will most definitely check out more books by Joe Hill! (edited) 4y

Definitely different but a good story. It did drag a little bit in the middle when talking about the childhoods of the main characters but the backstory is important so you get through it. The ending was sat but sort of beautiful. Overall a solid pick and a good read.

Hot damn, I loved this book so much! It‘s beautiful and tragic and so suspenseful. There was a part towards the end where Ig reads a letter that had me sobbing. The only thing that didn‘t make this a 5 was the slow pacing when discussing their childhood. But joe is a brilliant writer and I can‘t wait to read more of his work!

Progressive suspenseful story that reveals details piecemeal throughout the story.

I felt the ending was a little disappointing and I would have preferred a different outcome.

Nonetheless still a good read at 4 out of 5 stars.

Further in the comments.

LazyOwl Parts of the story alludes to something Ig can't quite remember, which felt like it was supposed to be quite significant, but when revealed was a bit unimaginative and disappointing. 4y

I admit, I watched the movie and loved it. After watching it for the fourth time, I saw that this was a book I went to my local used bookstore and bought it. The story was on par with the movie, but it was far more into how the horns came to be, how they work, the whole devil mindset. The writing itself was simplistic. Recommend reading for a light read journey.

I enjoyed this more than I was expecting to - a coworker meant it to me and I wasn‘t sure for a while, but I liked the narration and found it quite page-turner-y, with some lovely turns of phrase and I found the treehouse of the mind fascinating. Not totally my thing overall, a lot of words spent illustrating how awful people all are which I found a bit ‘I‘m so edgy‘ but I did enjoy reading it mostly and got through it quickly so it‘s a pick.

This was a terrific book to listen to, the narrator made it so the book wasn't boring to listen to. The voices he did through the book were great
