ToniFGMAMTC | Feb 17, 2021 |  This was the horror novel I wanted for October. It was creepy, disturbing, and hair-raisingly suspenseful. It features a villain who is disturbing because he truly believes he is helping children by sucking all the life out of them and turning them into vampires, and a henchman who does the dirty, horrifying work of torturing and murdering the people who get in their way. I loved the characters and the setting, and I loved the idea of people who can navigate their own personal worlds with help from a talisman. I’d heard mixed things about the TV adaptation, but I enjoyed this book so much that I think I’ll give it a chance. (  ) unsquare | Feb 16, 2021 | 3.5 starrish. Conflicted on this. A lot of this book read like it was trying very hard to be Stephen King. And failing. What this book needed, really needed for the emotional payoff was a better exploration of the ties between Lou, Vic and Wayne. And it wasn't there. Some of it was, but I felt that the author skimped on the family connections too much. The same for the relationship between Chris and Vic. Without a better exploration of that, from their point of view, the last part of the book was drained off its punch. (  ) Andorion | Feb 6, 2021 | Sometimes a bit too precious for its own good, but still a hell of a ride. Hill has a talent for giving things that hard twist away from normal that a good horror author needs, and this is replete with that. Blew right through this one with no regrets. (  ) skolastic | Feb 2, 2021 | A fascinating concept that is brought to intense life by the writing of Joe Hill. It kept me in suspense for the entire length, and not just in the suspense of a good thriller, but in the suspense of heartache and queasiness you get from seeing someone very bad about to do something very wrong. I loved every minute with NOS4A2! ( ) b_coli | Nov 25, 2020 |
 BLOODY DISGUSTING bloody-disgusting.com [BEST & WORST '13] Top 10 Horror Novels of the Year! 8. NOS4A2, by Joe Hill (April 30; William Morrow) Whimsical to a fault, Joe Hill’s newest novel is jam-packed with enough imagination for an entire series. His child-warping, Christmas-loving villain, Charlie Manx, is one of the best end-level bosses in all of fiction, evil and memorable enough to receive a mention from none other than Stephen King (Hill’s father, who name-dropped Manx in Doctor Sleep). This guy Hill is a world-builder working at the top of his game. This is really an informative website, Thank you for sharing.

Victoria McQueen has a secret gift for finding things: a misplaced bracelet, a missing photography, answers to unanswerable questions. On her Raleigh Tuff Burner bike, she makes her way to a rickety covered bridge that, within moments, takes her wherever she needs to go, whether it's across Massachusetts or across the country. Charles Talent Manx has a way with children. He likes to take them for rides in his 1938 Rolls-Royce Wraith with the NOS4A2 vanity plate. With his old car, he can slip right out of the everyday world, and onto the hidden roads that transport them to an astonishing--and terrifying--playground of amusements he calls "Christmasland." Then, one day, Vic goes looking for trouble--and finds Manx. That was a lifetime ago. Now Vic, the only kid to ever escape Manx's unmitigated evil, is all grown up and desperate to forget. But Charlie Manx never stopped thinking about Victoria McQueen. He's on the road again and he's picked up a new passenger: Vic's own son. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

I have a few mixed feelings about this book. At times it felt like an adult horror. I really got into certain scenes. Other times, it felt like more of toned down horror, like it was aimed at a younger audience maybe. Overall, I did enjoy it. (
