Can't wait!! I've been wanting to read this for months I just have too many horror books & so many distractions lol
I'll join on reading this one.
Great terry! Glad to have yah:) what's your story as far as Edward Lee goes? Read any of his novels before?
This will be my 4th by Lee, and I thought the others were ok. I enjoyed The Golem the most. I've bought this one at a used bookstore a while ago and just hadn't read it yet.
This is my fifth I think. I have Golem. I'll have to read that one soon now that I know that u liked it!
My favorite has been The Black Train so far. High hopes for this one. I read Operator B a few months ago and was kinda disappointed. Didn't finish it either.
I have never read Lee either, so am excited. Going to try to get it and start tomorrow (or the next day, lol).
I have only read short stories from him & the only book I read was Triage with Laymon & Ketchum so I am looking forward to this
So I've read the prologue and it's already very interesting to me:) on to ch one, well maybe later.
I'm gonna start it now. Has to get my coffee and I'm ready lol
Yes, that's what I do too. Get my coffee on my warmer and read my book before I get my kiddos ready:) I might not get back to this til tonite though. Can't wait!A bit of trivia. Did u guys know Ed Lee wrote a couple of YA books? One is called Monster Lake. I bought it a year ago just to see how he writes for a younger audience. Pretty cool!
Oh it's ok I think I might have to go to work for a couple of hours somebody called out & I have to go fill there items in for them at a store out of town but I'll be back before mid-day so you got plenty of time to be with the kids Addy. & really?? That's really something I would of never thought he wrote YA books just because how he writes. How was the book? Was it still gore in it or was it a watered down scare for the youngsters?
I'm gonna lurk for now. I've had the paperback since 2009 and it's been collecting dust with all my other unread paperbacks since that year. Consequences from the year of the Kindle.Depending on how crazy exciting it gets in here, I may jump in.
It's definitely watered down. It was like something RL Stine would write. It was still fun though!
Hope you decide to join us Eleven:)
Lmao well at least that's good he has a soft side for children lol I just got home so I'm gonna finish the prologue
Just got home too. Kids are playing in the sandbox so I'm gonna start ch1!
Just started on chapter 1 too Addy!! The beginning was pretty interesting so far. Let's see what happens next!
Well chapter 1 was pretty interesting lol I feel bad for Clare, but can't wait to see what happens
I've only made it through the first chapter, too and it is an interesting start. Definately feels similar to the other Lee books so far.
Ive honestly only read short story's by Edward this is actually my first novel by him and so far I really like his stuff I got a couple more books by him & def can't wait to read more
Yea I'm on chapter 5 I didn't know what anybody was doing kinda got carried away lol sorry
Wow. I'll say! J/k. That's ok. Just as long as u use spoiler tags if u want to add a comment or anything. Must be good! I'll try for ch6 today.
I went and saw The Gift last nite so didn't get much reading in. Awesome movie by the way if anyone should go and see it, it's well worth your money!
I was wondering how that movie was yesterday I seen the previews is that the horror movie by M. Night Shymalon or however you spell his name? Did you see the priviews for Guillermo Del Toro's Crimson Peak?
No, I don't think it was by MNight. It wasn't really horror but more like a psychological thriller though it had a lot of ppl screaming. It was funny to experience. Never heard of crimson peak. I'll have to check it out.
Yea I gotta look into that movie. You have to see the trailer for All Hallows' Eve it comes out sometime this year it looks really good. I was hoping it was gonna be Laymon's version but it's still pretty cool looking!!
I think the movie you are thinking of is The Visit which I plan on seeing. Crimson peak looks awesome! Is All Hallows' eve based on the laymon book?
Yea it def looks awesome! I don't think it's based on the Laymon book :( I'm not sure if it came out in 2013 some people said it did but the trailer I seen says 2015 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OCbgfnV...
Yeah I saw a 2013 release and now 2015. Weird. Looks freaky! Clowns are scary already!
Yea they are!! That movie looks like it's gonna be good tho that video looked sooo weird!! Did you see that thing with the long nose
Yeah, I saw it! I really like the concept of getting a freaky video in your Halloween bag. I'll have to see it.
Yea it def seems like a freaky video def a interesting concept.
Imagine getting paid $20 to try deodorant and have people smelling your armpits lol that's horrible smh
Addy wrote: "Made it to ch3 [spoilers removed]"Hmm...I haven't thought of that. My first opinion was that people keep getting hired & leaving because they find out about the Monstrosity. There are a lot of unanswered questions still.
I'm sure Clare is gonna wish she could have kept the armpit job when she finds out exactly why she was hired at the clinic. I think the (view spoiler)
Yes. I totally agree with you;)
At the end of Chapter 6 you find out what happened to the previous chief Grace Fletcher. It's crazy!!
I bet! Just got to part 2. I'll have to read some more tonight.
The end of ch4 was quite interesting. On to ch5. Still a little behind on this one.
It's ok I'm on chapter 7 and just was waiting for everybody to catch up while reading the Cellar. It's really good so far I'm about mid-way thru the book so I'll probably finish it tonite
I'll probably going to read chapter 8 & 9 & then go back to the Cellar for a little bit
Ch6. Yay! Things are really heating up. This book is surely a page turner. Glad u are enjoying The Cellar!
