Audiobook Review: Carrie by Stephen King

Audiobook Review: Carrie by Stephen King

Goodreads Progress Bullet Point Review Carrie is Mean Girls on crack. It is a story about bullying and quite frankly, a lot of problems could have been solved if they broke the prom crown in half and shared like Cady Heron. Carrie is eerie and creepy and the perfect way to start October. Even though […]

Elevation by Stephen King

Elevation by Stephen King

 Reading Progress First Impressions Elevation drew me in almost immediately. Despite the similarities to Thinner I was intrigued, Stephen King creates individual characters in every book he writes. I looked forward to listening and learning more about Scott Carey. However, Stephen King made me feel invested in Scott Carey as a person as the focus […]

First Impressions Kathy Bates ruined the novel Misery. She was just too good. Her role has become iconic. Therefore, it is hard to picture anything else. Impressions While Reading Having said that, Misery by Stephen King is creepy and much more gruesome than the film. To be honest, I’m a bit neutral about it. It […]

Finders Keepers by Stephen King

Finders Keepers by Stephen King

Why I picked it up: I loved Mr. Mercedes by Stephen King and wanted to continue on with Hodges ‘ unconventional crime-solving with Finders Keepers. First Impression: It was a set up for a “creepy crawly” will Morris Bellamy stop with Rothstein? Where could this story lead? In other words, I was drawn in with […]

The Shining by Stephen King

The Shining by Stephen King

First Impressions I have tried to watch Forrest Gump several times but with each attempt I fall asleep.  The stretch between his college football games and saving Lieutenant Dan had me yawning.  Until recently this has been my experience with The Shining by Stephen King.  I found it slow and wasn’t able to slog my […]

Book Review: Mr. Mercedes

Book Review: Mr. Mercedes

Stephen King’s Mr. Mercedes is too big.  It is in hardcover, there are so many pages and is not very conducive while reading in bed.  My eyes start to get heavy as does the book in hand, having me waking up minutes later with Bill Hodges in my face.  Perhaps this is my fault, I […]
