This is the first Joe Hill I've read (as opposed to bought, and then left languishing on my shelves - too many books to read, as always) and I am impressed.
Some truly creepy stuff, great characters, and some absolutely drop-dead gorgeous writing.
Suffice to say, I'll be reading those books on my shelf now.

While I thoroughly enjoyed Hill’s Horns, this more recent novel of his was a bit of a let-down. It started off in an engaging way, but began to seriously slip about a third of the way in, with fresh batches of clichés around every corner. This contributed to a sense that the book was written hastily and without much deliberation. I’m not saying I wouldn’t give the author another shot, but this is a novel I wouldn’t recommend to people interested in his work.

After reading NOS4A2, I will never hear Christmas songs the same way again. Those songs that repeat on an endless loop on those radio stations that start playing them before Thanksgiving.

Other than the needless vulgar language, I thought the book was really good! It kept me interested. Overall a great sci-fi book! He definitely reminds me of his dad.

Long slow burn. Well written, some fun gory descriptions when the kids show up, unique concept.
Not scary and the constant graphic/implied sexual assault ruined it for me. No hint of that on the back, so if that’s a sensitive topic be warned.
