If you can't get through it your wrong

Revisado: 06-05-22

I keep seeing reviews for how people can't get into it and..I. that seems like to me the book wasn't ur cup of tea not that it's a bad book. it's fine If it wasn't your cup of tea truly, but that does not make it a bad book. I really really enjoyed it and was crying laughing throughout I really enjoyed Jade as the protagonist and the way jades story is told with the events unfolding in her town is really amazing I hope Stephen keeps making stories like this ❤️

everyone says the TV show stuff is boring but

Revisado: 05-07-22

I really loved this book everyone thinks the TV show stuff is boring and I guess I can understand that if u think this book is going to be non stop horror but I think the book has something to say about exorcism and women. the ending comes fast and it's heartbreaking I recommend

IDK it hasn't aged so well, but meh... It was OK

Revisado: 07-09-21

I think it was the accents that really threw me off as well as the pave of some of the dialogue. Still though it was kinda fun like I remember when I read it years ago.

Hard to listen to, but should be.

Revisado: 03-05-20

A friend of mine mentioned this forgotten chapter of American history to me and I was shocked that in all my years I had never heard anything -not a word- about it. Unreal how even some of the personalities mentioned in the book had no idea of the occurrence. Again, difficult to listen to, hard to say you will enjoy the book, but important to hear and process.

As relevant now as when it was written.

Revisado: 06-26-18

... which is a sobering thought. There are times in the book difficult to relate to in 2018, but the central message and lesson are as important now as in 1917, 1941, 1950, 1965, 1991, and 2001. Its criticized for being flat, but I think in a way that is part of the point. I'm glad I listened to it.

Whew.

Published in 1935 it has some obviously dated material, but the author(s) can be forgiven their lack of access to hindsight. At nearly 50 hours in length it took me a couple of sittings (read, several weeks broken up over a couple of months of comment time.) to complete the book, but it was time well spent. Highly recommend this title. I know I will eventually complete the series. Unfortunately Will and Ariel didn't get to finish the history of the 20th century before becoming part of that history... they have left us an amazing work though.

Proper proportions make for a potent potion

Revisado: 04-21-17

Ingredients needed for a delicious arcane gumshoe who is into anachronistic apparel.

Finely grind up Essence of Millhone
Add to a heating cauldron of various traditions including brujerià, wicca, and voodoo.

Slowly stir in, legendary ghost stories, oogly booglies, little jumps, and the occasional fright until the pot stirs itself.

Once boiling add a freshly Butchered, Hairy eye of Sleuth.

Let simmer through the sound system for eight hours and you have the perfect recipe for a very interesting witchy detective character and series.

I really enjoyed this book. The author puts together many of the aspects I enjoy in other fiction. I like the mystery, the magick, a strong female character who we can relate to because she still has her faults. Mostly I like the voice which I feel is bright overall. Sure there are shadows, but without shadows we can't see dimension.

This is my new series.

Good stuff gets a little redundant here and there

Revisado: 02-17-17

Very good information. The reader did a great job, listened to it at 2.0 speed because we revisited things several times... not saying bad just... seemed like stretching a bit.

If you are into this, you'll totally be into this

Revisado: 12-15-16

I'm a gamer, totally lame and proud of it. So for me this book fills that warm little niche I have in my soul for ephemera that compliments canon. It is very complimentary to the Cthulhu Mythos Encyclopedia building on what is already out there and weaving new possibilities into the stories. I listened to it once, went back through laughed at some of the simply diabolically elegant stories presented and immediately purchased it in hard copy.

This is obviously a fan-boy review, I'm good with that. I think if you are into this kind of thing then you are totally going to be into this book.

So why the four stars in Performance and Story? It's not due to disliking the reader, in fact for all the engineered words, languages, simply fabricated -stuff- he does an amazing job, brava, I simply would have liked just a little more with regard to the auction and hints as to the disposition of the library. A thread to pull.

Difficult in audio format

Revisado: 09-19-16

Good, but difficult when commuting to work. I made a ton of bookmarks in this one for later review. As you can well imagine some aspects of this work require the hardcopy, pen and paper, and some quiet time to contemplate.
