Charlie Reade looks like a regular high school kid, great at baseball and football, a decent student. But he carries a heavy load. His mom was killed in a horrific accident when he was seven, and grief drove his dad to drink. Charlie learned how to take care of himself—and his dad. When Charlie is seventeen, he meets a dog named Radar and her aging master, Howard Bowditch, a recluse in a big house at the top of a big hill, with a locked shed in the backyard. Sometimes strange sounds emerge from that shed.

A book that went straight for my heart
Revisado: 06-08-24
This crackerjack tale looks right into my deepest, fondest, scariest memories of childhood fantasy, that part of me that thought all the fairy tale stuff could be real. As I child I always lived with my thoughts halfway in Oz; so perhaps Mr. King looked straight into my heart and found the hidden story there.
Hey, it's no less believable than what happens in "Fairy Tale." This book is a dizzying combination (oh, don't worry - that dizziness is just the sign that you're crossing over into the other world) that is unlike anything else King has written yet fits in absolutely perfectly with his universe of heroic young people, the often necessary darkness of human nature, alternate universes and some very hungry, nasty old gods.
A+. Thanks Mr. King, for writing a book just for me. I hope other people won't be envious.

Victoria McQueen has an uncanny knack for finding things: a misplaced bracelet, a missing photograph, answers to unanswerable questions. When she rides her bicycle over the rickety old covered bridge in the woods near her house, she always emerges in the places she needs to be. Vic doesn't tell anyone about her unusual ability, because she knows no one will believe her. She has trouble understanding it herself.

Inroads and Bridges
Revisado: 05-19-24
As a fan of supernatural fiction, unusual vampires, unforgettable characters, and Scrabble, I couldn't ask for more. I enjoyed this throughout. The story is a creepy knockout, but what sold me and kept me on the edge of my seat were these marvelous characters.
Our protagonist, Vic, has incredible power, but reality gives her no way to cope with it, and so - like many of us, I suspect - she lives her life believing she is delusional. Her narrow escape from a killer sets her life on a doomsday course, with stops along the way in an asylum and rehab.
Charlie Manx is a chilling villain, one who believes he's doing nothing wrong. He's helping the kids he takes, right? And such pleasant manners, too. Meet his accomplice, the Gas-Mask Man, a psychotic man-child with horrifying evil inside him.
Thank God for Lou, Vic's patient, geeky, heroic husband who loves her enough to save her. Their son is Wayne, a damn good kid who loves and forgives his lovable but flawed parents.
A wicked car, a conduit bicycle, and an eleventh-hour motorcycle are equally crucial to the yarn.
These are but a few of the stars that shine in this book. Seeing all this come together in a dreamland showdown as Vic fights to rescue her son from an eternity of soulless purgatory makes this one hard to shut off. I listened for hours at a time.
Mulgrew's narration is just a little rough; she didn't quite hit all the voices for me, and occasionally, her shouts were a bit off-putting. Not a deal-breaker, though. Altogether, a "B" performance, bolstered by an A+ portrayal of Maggie, the spritely fortune-teller with a bag of Scrabble tiles.
Highly recommended for fantasy horror fans.

Fantastic Travel Companion
Revisado: 03-15-23
Good laughs and good advice - can you ask for more than that? Oh, yeah you can! Perfect traveling companionship. So you get all three in one. This often-hilarious book is the perfect length and tone to take on a trip by car or plane - it's just over three hours long, it's totally engaging and there's really some smart life-hacking packed in as well.
It's like dishing with your bestie as she helps you get over some of life's self-sabotaging behaviors. No stress, no preaching, just some real-life experience that goes to show you that there's no reason to be your own worst enemy while adulting. For relatively mature audiences - some of the humor is raunchy, but it's all in good fun and adds to the feeling of just talking with a good friend. Everything's relaxed and natural.
My favorite chapter and the one that resonated with me most was the one about diets - or lack of them - and how so many of us "put off" life, waiting for the time when we're ten pounds thinner or whatever...that was some solid true stuff there, well said, and it really made me think. Many thanks, MM!
