Title: | Heart-Shaped Box |
Author: | Joe Hill |
Genre: | Horror/Supernatural/Thriller |
Synopsis: | An aging rock star buys a ghost off the internet and finds himself actually haunted by a vengeful spirit, punishing him for his past, intent on ensuring he hasn’t got a future and none too careful of those around him. |
Verdict: | This was a lot darker and more emotional than I expected, raw and honest and harsh. Lots of fun to read, real gut twisting reactions. One of those books you can’t put down until you’ve finished it because you won’t be able to sleep with the events it describes unresolved. Also I really, really appreciate owning dogs after reading this. Read it, you’ll understand. |

Title: | The Complete Polysyllabic Spree |
Author: | Nick Hornby |
Genre: | Book Reviews/Humour |
Synopsis: | The author reviews other writers’ books and documents his purchases, his own reading habits and his complete failure to ever get around to certain books. |
Verdict: | Entertaining but not hilarious, gave me some reading ideas. I’ve never liked Nick Hornby’s novels but found his reviews decent reading. |
