Last week, I said I was going to review my Teaser Tuesday books, but only if I'm done reading them. I'm only halfway through this one, so I can't say if I'm going to like it or not, but--so far--it's really good.
I know this is a really old book and a lot of people have already read it. It's funny, I'm a HUGE King fan, but I never picked this one up. Now I'm glad I did. The book is dark, but I love Danny and Wendy. The way Stephen King makes us feel sympathy for Jack, and then turns him into the villain is some of the best writing I've ever read. I hear he's writing a sequel to this one. Anyone know anything about that?
What about you guys? Reading anything good this week? Any recommendations?
I've never read Stephen King but I've considered it. If I do, I might have to try this one out.
ReplyDeleteI'm currently reading Mothstorm which is light and fun...but not Christmasy so I am not help there. Actually...come to think of it, I don't know of any Christmasy books. This might be a problem.
You've NEVER read Stephen King? That's...not allowed. haha. Not for a writer. Seriously, you have to read him. King is the master of creating amazing characters. I know he's not "critically acclaimed" but he's one of the best writers I've ever read. I'd recommend starting with The Stand, it's one of his best books. The Shining was awesome too...but very dark. But, if you like dark/horror its a good one!
DeletePersonally, I say screw the critics. I'd way rather be like Stephen King and write books that everyone loves that please a group of snobby critics. haha
i'm reading "the train to Povenska" such a great book, plus i love non-fiction when i can get my hands on it!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read much non-fiction that I loved, but every now and then I'll come across a good one. What's this one about?
DeleteI just finished Days of Blood and Starlight, the second book in the Daughter of Smoke and Bone series. It was SOOOOO good that I'm having trouble figuring out what to read next. I think I'm going through withdrawal.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, highly recommend it if you haven't read it. Now I just need to find something to quench my awesome book thirst...
I heard that ended on a huge cliffhanger. I LOVED Daughter of Smoke and Bone, but I was a little reluctant to read Days of Blood and Starlight if it ended badly, or left me hanging. Does it wrap up at all? Should I read it now, or wait until the sequel is coming out?
DeleteAnd, as far as book recommendations go, have you read Angelfall by Susan Ee? Soooo good!!! That's another one that ends without things resolved, but it's a good stopping point. Seriously one of the better books I've read. Just non-stop action. Some romance. Great villains. If you haven't read it, you should definitely check it out!
That teaser has got me all curious to know what happens with the little boy! This seems like a good read, I'll have to check it out sometime. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by The Readdicts Teaser Tuesday post earlier.
Happy reading!

Your welcome, Sarika! It was a really good book. And, it turns out that I had good timing in reading it--even though it was written thirty-six years ago, Stephen King is currently working on the sequel. Yay! :)
DeleteOOh nice tease! Never read this one myself but have seen the movie! Great tease!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting and following my blog! I follow you now too!
Have a GREAT day!
NEW Follower :D
Your welcome, Jessica. :) I'm getting ready to check out the movie, now that I've read the book. I hope its as good!
DeleteNice teaser! I'm not a huge Stephen King fan (not big on his writing style), but I do like this story. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting My Teaser .
Brandy, new follower. :)
Thanks for following! :)
Deletenice tease! i'm not a big reader of Stephen King but i know he's a fantastic author!
ReplyDeletethanks for stopping by my tease. I of course recommend The Book Thief. It is a little depressing but it's very good.
Trish - My Teaser
Yeah, a lot of people have told me that. One of these days I'm going to HAVE to read it. :)
DeleteGreat teaser! This is the second Stephen King I saw teased this week...I haven't read any of his books. Maybe it's time!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting!
It's definitely time!! He's amazing. I'd highly recommend The Stand is excellent, along with IT, Misery and Bag of Bones. I love all his books, but those would be easy ones to start with. :)
DeleteI haven't actually read any Stephen King books *shock* I really should!
ReplyDeleteAwesome teaser and thank you for checking out my Teaser Tuesday
Sadie @ Lyrics.
Wow. You're the fourth person who's said that. I thought EVERYONE had read King. haha. I love him!!
DeleteI love King (and all Horror), but sometimes his books are too creepy even for me. Sometimes it's hard to find a character you love and can root for because ALL of them are dark and twisted. I'm glad you liked Wendy and Danny though. :-)
ReplyDeleteYeah, some of his stuff is REALLY dark. But Wendy and Danny (especially Danny) were the type you had to root for!
DeleteKing rocks! Oh, how fun-so much for light n' Christmas inspired, lol
ReplyDeleteYou are fun :D
Yeah, right. Nothing says Christmas like a slow descent into madness. haha
DeleteOh yes...I am reading an awesome book. Neat blog...NEW FOLLOWER.
ReplyDeleteMy teaser is from The Secret Keeper by Kate Morton.
My Teaser is below. Have a great Tuesday.
