Book Reviews of Heart-Shaped Box
Book Review: hip horror
Summary: 3 Stars
hill stays current in the rock and roll saga by using names like foo fighters, howard stern, acdc, coldplay, satelite radio, etc. good read, not an on the edge of your seat type horror, but a nice story about an aging rocker with a younger goth chic for a girlfriend who kinda gets what he deserves, but during the read he realizes his transgressions and corrects them just in time to save his life. not bad, read better!!!Book Review: loved this book. memorable, page turner, kept me up at night!

Summary: 3 Stars
SInce I'm a fan of King I decided to give his sonny a chance. I wasn't dissapointed but then I wasn't very thrilled either. Hill is definately following King's footsteps when it comes to supernatural stuff but then again King is a master at it. I'd recommend this to readers who like Stephen King or Dean Koontz. It's definately worth a try, I'm sure others are very fond of this book.Book Review: scary, creepy and intense
Summary: 5 Stars
Famous musician Judas Coyne collects rare and grotesque items. He lives with his current goth girlfriend, Georgia a.k.a. Marybeth, and his pet dogs Angus and Bon. When his personal assistant, Danny, tells him there is a ghost for sale on the Internet, Jude buys it for $1000.00. The package arrives at his door, it is a black heart-shaped box, inside is a suit belonging to a dead man. Jude just puts the box away in his closet and forgets about it until one day he sees an old man in his home, wearing the suit.
I really enjoyed this book, Joe Hill, is the son of none other than Stephen King. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. This read was scary, creepy and intense. It has lots of twists and turns, and is full of some unexpected surprises. I liked the main character, Jude and his girlfriend, Georgia. You want them to figure out a way to get rid of this ghost, yet it seems impossible for them. Craddock is insane and he's very scary.
It's been a while since I've read a book that scared me. This read was long overdue. I think the last book that spooked me like this one was Salem's Lot.
