Wow! This was a great book. I could not put it down. It was just under 900 pages, and that was too short as far as I’m concerned. This was Joe Hill’s first novel in almost 10 years, and it was worth the wait. I have to admit, when I read the summary for this book, I was a little skeptical.

To paraphrase: A college student is forced to steal rare books from his college’s library. He and his friend summon a dragon to kill the people who are forcing him to steal the books. As part of the deal, they have to choose a person to sacrifice each year, or they become the sacrifice.

Sounds weird, right? But, it wasn’t. Also, there were several Stephen King Easter eggs in the story, and that made me really happy.

My rating: 5/5

As you can see, I’ve entered my entertainment blogging phase of the year. I hate winter.

This was Alan Alda’s autobiography. Not sure why, but something about the tone of the writing was weird to me. Or maybe it was the weird life he had and the weird stories he told? I could have lived without reading this book.

My rating: 3/5
