Nightmares & Dreamscapes by Stephen King

5.0

Loved it. Almost ironically, one of my favorite stories (Dolan's Cadillac) was apparently one that King had originally abandoned. Every story was different and honestly, only mildly creepy. Since this is the man who gave me nightmares with Pet Sematary, it was cool to read a collection full of the strange and mildly unsettling. He also managed to get me to read a short essay about baseball. I hate sport stories but he made it interesting.

Extremely creepy. It read a little more like it was made for a movie than it was a book. Maybe because it was based on someone else's idea? Or because it's now a movie......I don't know. Either way, still really creepy. I liked the little bit of character growth. Ending......excellent, thought unnerving.
This was my Book set in Another Country in my reading challenge.

Despite the at times annoying voice of the main character, I really really liked this. It was funny and interesting, even though the plot was a little far-fetched....and kind of out of nowhere. But it was funny and a slightly satisfying ending.

Loved it. All except the ending. What the actual....hell. That was just....not ok. A little disappointed in Dame Agatha

Holy. Shit.
It might seem a little silly, but after I read any new Stephen King books, I am completely bowled over by how awesome a writer he is. The way his characters think, feel, speak......the detailed and, at times, grotesque descriptions....the way everything ties together beautifully.....
I loved this. At first, I wasn't sure I could get as into Finders Keepers as I had been into Mr Mercedes. By the middle of the book, I was hooked. Excellent ending. And I think I can see where he's going to go with the next volume....and I'm freaking excited about it. I need that third book NOW.

Absolutely love love LOVED this book. Malala is a very brave and inspiring young woman. I was pulled into her story. She is definitely a bright light in the dark bullshit of this world. I hope that one day she is able to see her home again safely.
