Tissues handy
A great YA fictional book that hits you in the feels over and over. Very well written and is one of those books you can read cover to cover. Even if that means no sleep. Every book I have read from John Green has been fantastic!

Bit more back story shown than the original

Will likely send you to sleep
An unnecessary reboot of a classic horror film. It doesn't offer much that wasn't in the original and pales in comparison.

Rolling Stone's 219th greatest album of all time

Although I still find myself slipping into Stutter Rap during No Sleep Til Brooklyn:
  
Nate is awakened at night to find a cat's pillowcase. Will he find it in time to get back to sleep? Another fun and creative mystery perfect for pre-schoolers.

The thoughtful, poetic writing of this book is both a blessing and a curse, sometimes it opens my eyes to different points of views and other times it puts me to sleep. The concept is very interesting though, and it has interesting takes on the ways that games impact people.
