...just gotta get past the first 60-seconds of set-up.

A fantastic peek into a terrible situation. I was listening to the audiobook, so I didn't have any feeling for how much of the story was left. I've been listening to a lot of audio books lately. My problem with the audio version of Full Dark, No Stars is the female narrator, Jessica Hecht...

Whoa, you guys. By far, the most unlikeable protagonist I've ever encountered. Surprisingly, this was the hardest one to get through. I just hated Dave Streeter so much. Elvid was a really interesting character and it's a really cool spin on a bargain tale, but At least for being tethered to...

Damn, dude. Big Driver is awesome. Not the character, obviously. The story. How has this not been adapted into a movie yet? I see that it's on the list of dollar babies, so Hollywood's asleep at the wheel on this one. Get someone like Bridgett Fonda, Winona Ryder, or Lauren Graham and you have a...

AHHHH! Very good. I need to read the end of this story then. I thought that was a really weird way to end it.

Just finished listening to 1922 from the audiobook. Good GRIEF! That is a pitch black story. I suppose that's why this collection is named what it is, but I haven't heard the other stories yet. I liked it, but it would have been nice to have at least one character to root for. I thought our...

I hear you on that one, but I just think he'd make such a great Jake. I keep thinking of him doing the test run and that just seems like such a JGL leading man sequence to me.

King brought me back to reading 3 different times in my life. All throughout junior high I listened with keyhole curiosity as some of the braver kids talked about Stephen King books. I was always fascinated with horror, but had only dabbled in horror-lite, i.e. Monster Squad, Gremlins 2, that...

Jake - Joseph Gordon-Levitt (in glasses, I think.) Sadie - Alexis Bledel (she needs to audition though. Rigorously. If she can be as good as she was when she was Rory Gilmore, she's in; if it feels as lazy as all her post-GG work we'll go with Amy Acker (might be a little too old) or Alison...

This book is amazing. I've read the entire Dark Tower Series before, but this is my first time going through it again. Drawing of the Three is when the series really comes to life and shows you what it's capable of. The Gunslinger was a great exercise in experimenting with the western form, and...

I was skeptical going in to Doctor Sleep, but I ended up really liking it a lot. For me though, it was the beginning I had trouble with. I've seen boarders saying it went a little of the rails for them, and I couldn't disagree more. In my experience, it took Doc ZZZ a little time to find it's...
