Great look to the show
Gripping Storyline
I decided to give this a go as it's based on a Stephen King novel. From the first episode you will be hooked. A truly terrible murder has been committed and the suspect is seen by many witnesses. It seems an open and shut case apart from the fact the suspect is also seen 60 miles away at the time.
I really enjoyed this, one of the best TV shows I've seen in a while. In many ways the look, feel and the way it unravels reminded me of @True Detective as the police and investigators try to make reason of a complex case. But it could be something they couldn't possibly have imagined.
If you like a typical Stephen King story that you know will be weird and wonderful start watching this!

Book Favorite

"The best book I ever received as a present was It by Stephen King for my 15th birthday. I was already a fan of Stephen King’s novels and had been anxiously awaiting the release of It. My step-dad had it wrapped and waiting for me the day it came out, with a hand-written note inside. The book was as amazing as I’d anticipated. But it’s the best book I’ve ever received because it marked the beginning of a tradition. Every birthday after that, my step-dad gave me a book. Some years it was Stephen King’s latest, some years it was another author. The tradition continued for a quarter century, until my step-dad passed away a few years ago. I still miss seeing a brightly wrapped book in amongst the other birthday gifts. And I still have that original, hard cover copy of It."

One of the best films... EVER!
Based on Stephen King's short story, tells the story of Andy Dufrenes incarceration and redemption.

Continually tops the list of films to see before you die.

You cannot say anything else without doing it an injustice.

Pure reading pleasure (in a terrifying kinda way)
This will always be my favorite Stephen King book. Every book that has come after it that’s about some sort of apocalypse due to a virus of whatever kind, surely has this book to thank?
  
I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

This is an adorable intro to Stephen Hawking. No, it does not go on nto detail about his personal relationships. It's a kid's book.
