Excellent quick read. Tremblay always comes with the heat! Excellent story, articulate character development and flawless execution. Even his endings are good!

Love these little stories

Revisado: 12-31-23

This is a good story. A little cheesy, not too serious. More a campfire story but still a really fun read!

Always impressed with Richard Chizmar

Revisado: 12-24-23

This book has so much truth and so much fiction that you have to wonder which parts are true and which are fiction!
Excellent character building, tension, and suspense.
One of my favorite books by one of my favorite authors.
Cliffhangers aren't so bad when you know there's already something in the works!
Performance wasn't bad, a few regional accents seemed wrong but still not bad.
I will probably listen again. I love hearing things I missed the first time around.

Not as good as I expect from Grady

Revisado: 07-22-23

I've come to expect a few of his characters to remain annoying throughout the stories. That's ok, it's the way he does it. I always assumed that was the intent.
But this group of characters are hard to love. I kept waiting for one to stand out and make me proud, but it never happened.
I like Mark, but not at first, but at no time do I like Louise, or Luis, or however the narrator decides she wants to say it at any given moment.
I didn't Love the idea of hand puppets being the villains, but they are and they're as annoying as you could imagine they'd be.
The narrator/narrators read this story like they were reading to children who aren't really paying attention to the story and they're just trying to get it over with. I started listening when it came out, but I just finished this yesterday (7/21) because I kept finding other things to read. I finally finished it, but only because I paid for it and I didn't want to waste my money.
I don't like Poppy at all. That kid is annoying. It's not her fault though, that's all the bad parenting and coddling and unnecessarily over protective shielding by Louise.
I wouldn't recommend it to anyone except maybe a teenager, or something to read during a campfire ghost story, but not if you are true a horror fan. This is more Goosebumps than Creep Show.
Pretty disappointing story from someone I've learned to love through books like My Best Friend's Exorcism, We Sold Our Souls, The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires, Final Girl Support Group, and Horrorstör.
I just hope his next novel isn't quite so disappointing.

Not bad

Revisado: 07-01-23

The narration can be a little hesitant at times, but the story is still great.
Dealing with abuse is different for every individual who has endured it.
This is a powerful story of overcoming and/or living with the knowledge of it.

Fantastic!

Revisado: 03-26-23

This is one of the best books I've ever listened to or heard.
Excellent story, phenomenal writing, stellar narration!
I had a hard time believing this was his debut novel because it's written so well.
Looking forward to Mr. Maikranz's future works.

Oh my God

Revisado: 07-04-22

This book is very haunting. Quite disturbing. Heartbreaking. You hope for the best but you'll be completely disappointed. There's no happy ending. There's nothing good about the what comes after.
This is a nonstop, balls to the wall, unrelenting story of unending terror with zero consequences that will make you hate kids!
One of the best stories presented in such a way that is frustrating yet satisfying. Why hasn't anyone made this into a movie?

Fantastic story!

Revisado: 05-29-22

I rarely write reviews about good books. But this is a fantastic story! Well structured and narrated. Each character is represented uniquely and it's almost like there was a different narrator for each one. Jonas Jonasson is a writer I'm going to have to keep an eye on.
Just wonderful!

I expected so much more from Grady Hendrix

Revisado: 01-29-22

I was really excited to own this book. I've loved everything I've read from Mr Hendrix up until this book.
The narrator did a great job, but you can only work with what you have.
The story was annoyingly slow at times. Too many details like it was trying to give you something to think about but then not all of the details mattered later in the book.
I hated Heather and the way everyone treated Lynette. Hated the breaks in the story to give back stories on seemingly insignificant details.
Listen if you want but I don't love this book.

Fantastic novel

Revisado: 12-31-21

Just when I think I've read the best Stephen King book, I read another one that's the best Stephen King book.
This is one of the best novels that hasn't become a movie yet in a long time.
The character development, twists and turns, and surprises are classic Stephen King. Wireman becomes my favorite character and then one of the best characters I believe King has ever created.
This needs to become a movie or a limited series ASAFP!
