I will definitely have to keep "Heart-Shaped Box" in mind. BTW, am I the only one that didn't know Joe Hill was Stephen King's son?Lotus Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02081192215823615529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-36468561879908403392007-09-21T15:18:00.000-07:002007-09-21T15:18:00.000-07:00MotherPie - Thanks for stopping by.

Sometimes, first time readers have to wait a bit for all the pictures to load before the background switches over to tan from dark brown.

As far as reading during daylight hours, that seems critical during the first half of the book. By the second half, either I was used to the fear-factor or it calmed down a bit. Have fun! ;)<BR/><BR/>Andi - If I hadn't borrowed the book, I'd send it out to you. I'd be surprised if you can't find it at the library.<BR/><BR/>Stephanie - I do the same thing. If someone reviews a book I know I want to read, I make a note of their review so I can come back to it once I've finished the book. And I rarely ever read quoted passages, since I want to experience them for the first time as I'm reading the book. Hope you enjoy Hill's book as much as I did!

Glad you enjoyed the review. :)<BR/><BR/>Kookiejar - Sounds like Joe Hill is establishing quite a fan club -- at least amongst us bloggers. :) Yep, he did quite a good job with his character development. I have vivid images of several characters and settings. The dogs were great, too.<BR/><BR/>Kay - It's a perfect book for Halloween! Very, very creepy.
