Court’s review of King Sorrow > Likes and Comments

You're flying thru!

Looking forward to this one, I can’t even read his father’s novels anymore.

This review bodes well for me!
It seems our book tastes are very similar.

glad to see 5 stars!!!

What do you recommend as a starter for Joe Hill books?

I haven’t reviewed this yet because I’m going to feature this one in my city’s newspaper but, spoiler alert, this will be my star rating. His best book by a mile. I LOVED it!

An excellent review, Court! I am so excited to read this!

I have the arc for this too! Just convinced me to start it tonight

Glad to see the love for this one, Court! More excited to get to it and great review!

I can't wait to hear about your experience with it. Let me know when you're done. I hope you love it!

I think the best starter book is Heart-Shaped Box. Not too long, and it's a very accessible story

Glad you loved it! And I'd love to read your review when it's published

I see that you started it. Hope you love it too!

I started with The Fireman as a current bestseller, then went to Heart-Shaped Box. Both were really good.

I can't believe I have to wait until October to read this!

Excellent review! I definitely will download it to read

You definitely sold me on this book! So glad this was a winner for you! Fantastic review!

Thank you! I hope you love it as much as I did

I've read many of Joe Hill's works and loved them. It's been a while since he's published a novel, so I'm really looking forward to reading this one.

Terrific review, Court! I love seeing all those stars. It’s on my list. I can’t wait to read it.

Thank you! I would give it more stars if there were more stars to give

Is your son really 101? How old does that make you?

I. Cannot. Wait. Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow!

Spectacular review!!! My copy is on the way and I absolutely cannot wait to read it!!! I’m not a fantasy lover, but I LOVED Slewfoot. I’m stepping outside the box!

Agree absolutely & so happy someone wrote about this. Hill's prose just gets better & better--I think this one might be his best yet. I'm still in the process of reading but I'm loving every page--his style and structure have matured so much.

Great review. Now I want to read this one even more!
Cheers and happy reading to you, Court!!

Thank you! I appreciate it. I don't usually love fantasy either, and I obviously loved this one. It doesn't read like a typical fantasy book

Wonderful review — I’m in!

I also loved this book. And you've done a wonderful job of highlighting the father's influence without diminishing the accomplishment of the son. (It's something I've also tried to do when I'm made comments about the book on Threads, but you've done a masterful job of it. Bravo.)

I’m about 3/4 through it and I just can’t put it down. This is Joe’s magnum opus. It has so many layers to it.
I just love your review and I just know that Mr King is extremely proud of his son’s accomplishment. As a lifelong fan of Stephen King I can see that Joe has definitely inherited his father’s talent as an amazing writer.
