gwye 's review for:
Heart-Shaped Box
by Joe Hill
I first became aware of Joe Hill's book accidentally. I was reading his review of Chuck Palahniuk's Rant. Hill had some pretty scathing things to say about it, so I had to check what he had written. He seems to have jumped on the tiresome bandwagon of "Oh, Palahniuk has lost his touch. He's not what he used to be. He's run out of ideas." Blah, blah, blah. Shut up. I guess I'm in a minority of people who aren't hip enough to slam Palahniuk these days.
Save it, clowns; the man can still write.
And I'm sorry, Mr. Hill, but you dare to call Rant "derivative" and "stale"?
Um, Joe, please reread your Dad's "Thinner", then reread the first hundred pages of your book, and THEN have the prunes to call someone else derivative. Thanks.
That said, I did enjoy this book. It was good. GOOD. Yes, page after page contains echoes of dear old Dad's work, but, hey, I guess that's okay, as long as you're related. Honestly, I probably would have enjoyed it more had I not read his review, but when you attack someone more talented than yourself, I'm afraid you invite criticism. A good read, though, Mr. Hill. Keep trying.
