laural444 's review for:

Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill
3.0

It was like a Stephen King book, only a lot less annoying and with none of the stupid made up words King likes to sprinkle his books with. THe parts that reminded me most of King were the repeated phrases (the dead pull the living down) and the fact that the main character is an aged rocker. However, it was enjoyable because Hill kept a sense of humor in the book. "Craddock's shadow fell over him. Ghosts could cast shadows? Jude wondered at it. He was tired." It sounds like something the author typed in and then decided to keep later.

I just read that Hill is Stephen King's son. Things make much more sense to me now.
