This is the third book I have read by Joe Hill. I was not sure of "Horn's" but picked up the next Joe Hill and they get better and better. Took a while to read but enjoyed the storyline.

Amazing world the author created. I loved the idea and use of inscapes. The characters were lovable and hate-able and everything in between. I really loved this book

Waffled between 3 and 4 stars. More like 3.75 stars. Liked it muchly but felt some of the foreshadowing was heavy handed and some of the outcomes seemed like forgone conclusions. I hardly cared though. It was a good journey.

LOVED IT!!! I didn't realize, until I started reading this book, that Joe Hill is a pseudonym for Joseph King. Note the last name. Yes, Joseph King is the son of Stephen King. Not the reason I started to read this book, and I thouroughly enjoyed it from the start. I couldn't help but notice the uncanny similarities in the writing.
What a great adventure though. I instantly fell in love with Vic, and even more so as an adult. Joe Hill presents an amazing heroine, full of her own demons and flaws, which I think makes her an even stronger heroine.
I have always been a huge Stephen King fan, and often wondered what depths he pulls his dark thoughts and ideas from. After reading NOS4A2, I am left now with the same thoughts about Joseph King. Is there a well they draw from that only the Kings have access to?

1st impression: This book is weird.
Later: It's pretty good though.
Even later: Wow, it's 1 in the morning, I should probably stop reading and get some sleep.
