NOS4A2 by Joe Hill ****

First off you gotta know that Joe Hill is Steven King's son. So there ya go...it's as scary as his dad writes, altho a little 'trippy' about "inside reality" being the same as outside reality, say music in your head becomes music in reality he just carried it sort of into bizarre areas that takes quite a lot of setting aside your disbelief. How can people travel over bridges in their mind with other people to be some far off place to "find" something? A few of these characters have this so called "power".

I can't give it 5 stars for a few reasons. It's a fairly good and difficult to put down book. Things I don't like are that the children somehow made to believe in a bad guys dream life and become vampire-like but are still alive and real children at the end but blood thirsty killers in between. Don't get it at all.

Then the heroine undeservedly aside from all the ass kicking she takes to herself, and marries/fucks a big huge obese fat guy when it says nothing about her being uglier than sin doesn't make it to the end. That is very disappointing to the reader. You have to know that the entire book hinges on this one character solving EVERYTHING and then you kill her off? WHY? Wasn't she tough enough, or worth enough, or kick ass enough? You made her a huge fighter but can't keep her alive? What was her point? Then her asshole big fat husband goes and gets his stomach tied off so he's slim and worthy of her but she's not there to see THAT and the cop who suspected the heroine Vic of killing her own kid ends up fucking her husband. It's unjust, unfair and not worth 700 pages for that ending.

How is any of that in all fairness worth the reader sticking with the writer to the end? Now I will never trust you Joe Hill. Not for a minute. I will doubt everything you tell me about everyone in your stupid stories and know you have a bad or unfair ending for them. Glad to hear you're so popular on twitter you're gonna need those friends. I may read your books but be suspect about your motives for every strong character because in the end they will weaken and die like all the bad guys in the book. I have no confidence you are taking me on a fair journey. You are taking me for a long drawn out stupid make believe story with a bad ending.
