Destined to be a classic
I have never been a fan of Stephen King's works until I read the Dark Tower comics and now that I have read the book I am not surprised why he is a great writer.

I expected a lot of sploosh, raaah, stab, eek, sink, saved! and in fairness I wasn’t disappointed but what I found was something rather more. I found a telling of a story that was very human. An enjoyable, poignant adventure.

"I have a strong affinity for this one. I remember the first time I saw it. It was like a fever dream. I was maybe eleven and had picked it up in a video store in Colorado because of the poster."

I love this book when I was a kid and I am still loving it now, as a mother my kids are starting to find it interesting. Imagining a different world.

Wow, even though I was told what to expect, I wasn't expecting anything as visceral and as raw as this book. The beginning though tough lulled me into a sense of security, I thought I knew where it was going to go - I didn't! There was a point in the middle where this became a bit of an issue, as I felt it moved around too much, but there was a reason to it. I'm not immediately going to move on to book two, not because I don't want to, but i feel I might have a nervous breakdown of I did!

I thought that this was a pretty good book! From what I had heard from other friends, however I thought it would be more creepy. Unfortunately, this was not the case. I think that I may have a different sense of what is creepy than they do, though. It was a fun, quick read with really cool illustrations. If you want a good read that will only take a couple of hours. I highly suggest this book. There were a lot of moments I found predictable, but I was still intrigued by the ideas of the novel. I gave it a four out of five stars because I wanted it to kick up the creepy factor a notch, but all-in-all it was a really good book!

Album Favorite

"I was reading about Ian Dury a few years ago. I'd heard his music before and I must confess, I wasn't that impressed. I found him to be a captivating figure, but the music was just too 1979 funky pub-rock. I didn't relate to it. But I wanted to read about him and then I discovered he had a son named Baxter who's a musician. Since then, I've probably listened to Happy Soup more than any record in the past few years – maybe a thousand times. I've had requests from my wife to please put on a different fucking record. All my five kids know the whole thing by heart because I got obsessed with it. It's starting to get a bit insanity-inducing. I still listen to music like a little kid: I discover something, I like it, and that's all I listen to for a while."
