Gwendy's Button Box by Richard Chizmar, Stephen King

4.0

To be honest, I was never really interested in reading about Gwendy and her button box (whatever that was). I wasn't drawn to this book at all. Then last week, my brother invited me to join him on a trip to a Q&A with Richard Chizmar...I'm a nerd, and enjoy hearing authors talk, so I went along. By the end of the night, after hearing Richard's stories about writing with Stephen King and his perspective on Gwendy, I figured that I'd pick up the Button Box book and give it shot...plus I could get it signed and inscribed while I was at it. This book was fantastic...such a magical ride of innocence and curiosity. I read half of this in bed before going to sleep one night, and then finished it the next morning before getting out of bed. Such a fun trip and even in this short story format, you can't help but love Gwendy.
