I just found out about Joe Hill, and a little disappointed I didn’t know sooner. In heart shaped box Joe writes a believable horror novel, which makes it even scarier. And the dogs… you’ll appreciate his writing even more when you read these parts. Not going to be a spoiler but you will see. Enjoy!

I enjoyed this book. It had me turning the pages like a mad woman trying to find out what happens next.

So good! Easy to read and keeps you wondering “what’s going to happen next?!”

Joe Hill’s writing is great! I didn’t expect it. I knew him as a very young man changing all of the “No Smoking” signs at Donny & Marie Osmond’s old studio in Provo, Utah to “No Joking”.

This was a tremendous read. Very, very good.

I never leave reviews, but enjoyed this book. Different and interesting!

Gripping! Well-written, I really cared about these characters. Couldn’t put it down.

I’d heard great things about this book but it was hard to get into. The characters aren’t particularly likeable or relatable, which might have something to do with that. Will still check out some of Joe’s later work.

While the writing is great and furnishes an effortless reading experience, I just didn’t find the story very interesting. Part of the issue is that there is hardly a likeable character in the story. I’m sure the main characters were meant to grow on me as the story progressed, but it didn’t happen and by the climax I still didn’t really care what happened to them. Characters aside, the main conflict is fairly linear and there are few events that feel surprising or exciting.

I read this about 4 years ago it was a wonderful book. He is definitely talented like his father.
