How is it?"
It’s good so far (half-way). It’s not on the edge of your seat reading but it holds my attention and it’s a fast read for a brick of a book.

Mary Poppins in sci-fi peril! I really love Hill's writing.

I'll never look at Mary Poppins or The Fireman the same again....

Good to know, I want to read it at some point.

I read that last month with my R: (Zoom for now) Book/Movie club! If you haven't seen the movie, I can't recommend it enough after reading.

Thanks, Kandice, for the recommendation! I definitely plan to watch the movie afterward. I am kind of embarrassed to say I have never watched the movie.

Edward Norton is one of my favorite actors...Brad Pitt not so much....

Did you see him play Aaron Stampler in Primal Fear? The book was terrific, but then I saw the movie, and because of Norton, it blew the book out of the water! Richard Gere and Laura Linney were also superb, but Norton was just amazeballs!


The book is well worth the read if you can get your hands on it. Knowing the...twist, doesn't make it any less compelling.

I have seen Primal Fear and I loved it! Don't much care for Richard Gere though. I blame my mom. She watched way too much Pretty Woman when I was growing up. Have you seen The Score or American History X? Also, I did not know Primal Fear was a book!

I have. And also agree with Erin that he deserved an Oscar for Motherless Brooklyn!

And American History X.

Just finished BAAL by Robert McCammon, check out my review of that!
On the look out for a new read now! :)


Have you read Red Dragon? It's sequentially before Silence, but if you haven't and you like Silence, you should definitely read that one too!

Now to select another read! :)

Looking forward to reading it."
I love Needful Things! I love getting to know all the characters and goings-on. Happy reading!

I just started Lord of the Flies (I've never read it!!) and I'm embarrassed to say I hate it!!! I thought I would love it, but it's so hard for me to get into it when I despise the main character and just want him to get knocked off...I'm on chapter 4 and believe the book has great value so I'll finish...but I'm not really enjoying it!

I think it's impossible to enjoy, but you're right that it is very worth reading. Not that all of aren't aware of just what monsters we can become when left to our own devices.


by Dan Abrams, David Fisher

It was just ok for me. King mentions this book a lot. So I knew the how it end. King uses this book in his "Hearts in Atlantis" book. Hearts is one of my favorite King's novel. The movie of this book was just so so.
