[Perri]

Thanks Vicki, I've already put in a request at my library. Did you like it?

[Vicki Willis]

Yes, I did. I didn't think it was scary, but there were creepy parts. I really enjoy the story of the characters.
I am going to lurk here for everyone's comments.

[Tonya]

No Perri my copy still hasnt came I will let you know when its in.

[Tonya]

Perri, my copy of Bag of Bones has came in at the library. I hope to get it this afternoon or Friday.

[Perri]

Awesome, I picked my copy up Tues and I'm ready to go. Being a King fan, I should have expected it to be a door stopper, but it still took me by surprise. Luckily the pages usually fly by

[Tonya]

Well I'm ready when you are. Im currently reading a Stephen King it is 11/22/63.. its pretty interesting I wouldnt have never picked it for myself i dont think.

[Perri]

11/22/63 is really different from most of King's other books. I thought it was very intriguing!

[Vicki Willis]

I really enjoyed that one too.
I think this one is different than his other ones as well.

[Tonya]

How far are you Perri? I havent start Bag of Bones yet.

[Perri]

I read the author's note, the dedication and the introductory quotes :)

[Dana-Adriana B.]

Stephen King

[Tonya]

Perri, so your really just starting..Im going to try to get as far as i can on 11/22/63 today.i will start Bag of Bones tomorrow.

[Perri]

I"m to chapter 10. This reminds me of another S. King novel that I liked Lisey's Story, except in that case a woman loses her husband. What I notice about this book and others is how King seems to understand and like women.

[Sandy]

I listened to this book via audio and it wasn't until the second CD that I realized that the story had started because it was read by the author and the MC is an author. lol

Very good tale, interested in hearing all your comments.

[Perri]

It does seem to have a bit of the autobiographical in it. Not that King's wife has died, but how he talks about writing, and how he sets his mind so it can be creative . The write the same kind of books, and it's funny how he compares himself (or rather Mike) to other popular writers

[Perri]

To chapter 13 . I'm always interested in why people stay in haunted houses. (view spoiler)[ If my deceased husband was trying to tell me something I think I 'd be tempted. But being the scaredy cat I am , I'd probably die of fright and then my ghost self would be giving him the what for!!! (hide spoiler)]
Also, a mention of Donald Trump-ha!

[Tonya]

Perri, Ive finally got to start Bag of Bones by Stephen King. Im upto chapter 10.

[Perri]

Tonya, what do you think so far? I'm to chpt 21 (view spoiler)[ I"m wondering if Max faked his death. Has anyone actually seen a body. It's scary how so much $ makes some people think they're above the law. Also I have my doubts about Mattie making it out of the story alive (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Max is such a scary evil! And his sidekick/assistant (I forgot her name) Who can go along with such stuff!? (hide spoiler)]

[Perri]

OMG, Vicki! (view spoiler)[ Rogette (and Max) was trying to murder him and laughing about it. AND they would have gotten away with it!! (hide spoiler)]

[Tonya]

Im so confused in reading this book but I continue to read anyway. Im on chapter 13.

[Tonya]

Chapter 16...im half way through the book. No need to stop now.

[Perri]

Are you confused by what's happening?

[Tonya]

I know its haunted,but yes i think so. The way its written i not sure what truly happening and whats not.

[Tonya]

Where Mike went to library and got history on Sarah LAUGHS helped me alot to understand more that was going on.Before that I was so confused about it all.

[Vicki Willis]

I remember I had some confusion too, but I just read on and it got cleared up.

Imagine how Mike feels! ;)

[Tonya]

Perri, i know exactly how he feels.

VICKI-- That's what i have done just continued read and it has filled in the blanks so far.

[Perri]

Finished! I was right that (view spoiler)[ poor Mattie didn't make it but sure glad Kyra did. Sad so many kids died, but get Sara's fury. I almost got Max still living when Mike snatched off Rogette's wig, but it was a fake out. There was so much happening at the end that I got a bit confused. So Max didn't leave Kyra any $ in his will but stipulated Mattie stay living in the TR. Why did he do that? Did he expect Kyra to be killed? Wouldn't they find out pretty quick that the will was fake. Why did the librarian take Mattie back? Did Mattie and Mike just luck out by her getting pregnant? Why was she so secretive with her husband? (hide spoiler)]

What a great Oct read!

[Tonya]

Im working through mine slowly but surely.

[Tonya]

I'm on chapter 21. I'm glad I kept reading its finally starting to make sense as you said it would Vicki.

[Tonya]

Ive finished!!!!!Wow what a long and twisted story to be so confused about until you read further and explains itself.. I agree with you Perri about the ending as well...

Gave it 4 stars
