I have it on my kindle but haven't read it yet. I think danie has read it, and carrie's younger brother, if I am remembering right!
I think someone just posted recently about reading the new one and that it was very creepy, but I cannot remember who!

I'll be the odd man out and say I out and out hated this book. Poorly written, formulaic and a bore. But hey, that's just me.
'Twasn 't me, dear Cat...not sure who it was, though I do remember reading about it. I will try to find out.
Looks like, along with carrie's younger brother, these members have read it:

It's discussed in the What Are You Reading thread around ghost19's post #6456. What Are You Reading? | Page 323 | The StephenKing.com Message Board
From Amazon, Mr. King gives a plug that any author of horror would love to have: “A Head Full of Ghosts scared the living hell out of me, and I’m pretty hard to scare.” (Stephen King)
Has anyone read his latest one? "Disappearance At Devil's Rock", premise sounds promising, may go ahead and purchase this one, give it a day in court.
That one sounds a whole lot like the 70's movie "Picnic at Hanging Rock." I wonder if he makes any reference to it? I heard good things about "Head Full of Ghosts" but that has been tough going. One of those written hoping to make it into a movie type books. The Conjuring Part 12.
That makes two of us. I thought it unoriginal .....and yeah.....found myself yawning throughout.
Good to know I'm not alone. There wasn't one thing in it I hadn't read in another book (especially The Exorcist) or seen in a movie. Pure drivel.
Y'all have made me very curious about A Head Full of Ghosts... I just downloaded it It can't be any worse than the cozy mystery/mystery romance novels I've been reading lately lol

Working my way through it now. Eh, not my favorite, not the worst. We'll see how it ends.
This is another title that I have had recommended to me quite a bit.
The last one that I went into completely blind and purely on recommendation was Malerman's Bird Box, which I have to say I quite enjoyed.
Might look at picking this up

That's exactly how I felt throughout reading it. Eh. And then when I was done, the same.
Oh yes it can!Y'all have made me very curious about A Head Full of Ghosts... I just downloaded it
ok, I've read the first couple chapters and I'm having problems with the author's writing style. His run-on sentences rival even my own lol. Sometimes I have to look back at the beginning of a sentence to see how some off-the-wall descriptive phrase applies because I'd forgotten what the sentence is about. The main character's thoughts are all over the place Is this purposeful?
I will continue reading because I love gothic novels. I used to read gothic romances. I realized that each new story I read was pretty much the same as the others I'd read only with different characters but I read a bunch of them anyways lol. I even liked those Fear Street novels by R L Stine

I was disappointed in it too!! Recent release much better.
Reading it now.
I went ahead and bought it. It's on my TBR pile now. Let me know if it's any good. Thanks.
