Must pay close attention
Contains spoilers, click to show
Let me stay off by saying I am a huge fan of Stephen King! This show takes place in Castle Rock, which is where Shawshank prison is. The show is about 2 boys, one black and one white, who are claiming to be the exact same person. It follows these 2 characters through life to how they got where they are today. On the show there are several references/easter eggs to other Stephen King book and movies. It was a really good watch but you have to pay close attention to follow the story properly.

Not unless we want to pay through Amazon for Hulu I think?

I heard somewhere that it might possibly end up on C4/All4 in the UK. But that's only because The Handmaids Tale ended up there and that's a Hulu show too? I'm not really sure, but I'm also dying to see it so I hope it gets picked up by a service which doesn't involve yet another subscription fee!

"Last one is A Midsummer Night’s Sex Comedy. I don’t think it’s up there on most people’s lists. I just think it’s so beautiful. It’s very funny, but very gentle, and it also deals with issues of life and death in a very serious way. I can remember every time I saw it crying at the end. And part of it, too, is [Woody Allen] makes this incredibly good use of Mendelssohn’s music. I think the entire score is — I’m not sure about the soundtrack — but the score is Mendelssohn. I just think it’s a really exquisite piece of filmmaking."

Kept me guessing till the very end (0 more)
This is a good, easy reading crime book. It would say if anyone is trying to get into crime books this is a good one to start of with. It would be a book I'd recommend.
I love crimes books and I'm usually good at discovering the killer and sometimes the motive before it is revealed in the book but this one I couldn't guess at all. I enjoy when a book has me stumped as it keeps me reading. This was definitely a book I couldn't out down and needed to find out the killer.
The author really made the characters come to life and gave them their own voice and personality. They got each person spot on which might sound a weird thing to say but it helped the book and get an upstanding of each character.
Although it was a crime book there was a slight romance story to it. I like when a story has two stories ongoing as long as they don't intertwine too much and put one story into the background.
The blurb caught my attention but didn't give too much away.
I would read the other books in this series.
I received a complimentary copy of the book from the author via Voracious Readers Only.

Okay, I know this took me forever to finish reading, but it was so good!!! I just kept having things come up so I couldn't read it. Darn that actual life that is outside of books!!

The characters just keep getting deeper. I really enjoyed how we got to see three or four main different stories that kept intersecting. It added to more of the variation in the story that made the 562 pages go by at a great pace. The story line did not fall flat at all. The differences in the way each character told their part of the story was very well done as well!

As I have said for the other books in this series, I highly recommend this book to people who like fantasy. It is also a pretty good series to read if you are just starting out with fantasy. It integrates the fantastical aspects in a way that feels natural and allows the readers to get a grasp on what is going on.
