If you can read some short horror stories it must be fascinating!

Is this review spoiler free? I just started the book today and want to know if this is the appropriate review!

An excellent video! Totally agree that King is a master at creating such incredible characters., perfect example being The Stand. You end up really caring whether they live or die. He is just a wonderful storyteller. I actually love his short stories and that is a great place to start with King, in my opinion. I would also recommend 11/22/63, such a wonderful novel.

I’ve read about a dozen King Novels, and Needful Things was my favorite of them. I read it like 25 years ago, and there are still scenes that are burned into my mind! I also enjoyed 11/23/64 and The Shining a lot! Thank you! I’ll add the ones you went over I haven’t read to my (ridiculously long) reading list 😂!

👍🏻

Needful Things was the last book I read of King’s in 1991. I got burnout and his style was getting too wordy.

You kind of spoilt the events

I love Agatha Christie! I have been reading through her novels and I only have 3 left! 🎉🎉 🎉

"You do book reviews very well."

I like Evil Under the Sun a lot!

I’ve read three so far, Death on the Nile is probably my personal favorite so far. And Then There Where None was the only one I’ve guessed right.

This is not my usual genre of books. I read the unabridged Treasure Island recently (loved the story as a child) which lead me to Kidnapped and now this. I know a little about the plot, but not enough to spoil the book - I hope! I've not read any psychological or philosophical horror as such. One book I adore that is described by many as a psychological thriller/mystery and explores human nature in very great detail is A Perfect Spy by John LeCarre. Not action packed at all and a slow burn - but very thought provoking I found.

Great reading but it's a shaggy dog. It ends with a kind gesture, but what happened to the Joads in the end? You read a long novel anticipating an interesting ending and it cuts in mid stream!

There were no nazis, there were Germans

I listened to a bunch of these on audio. Seriously, more people need to read these books

I spot House of Leaves behind you! Whenever I’m asked what my favorite book is, I say House of Leaves. If you have any recommendations for someone whose favorite book is House of Leaves, I’d be grateful. Thank you, and I’ll check out some A.C. too, as shockingly, I’ve never read her work.

Your English if excellent. What is your first tongue, Russian ?

Hi, Thanks for this interesting video reminding us of the excellent Agatha Christie, also one of my favourite writers.👍 But I would like to introduce to you the Belgian writer Georges Simenon. (French: 12/13 February 1903 - 4 September 1989). He was a Belgian writer, most famous for his fictional detective Commissaire Maigret. One of the most popular authors of the 20th century, he published around 400 novels (including 192 under his own name), 21 volumes of memoirs and many short stories, selling over 500 million copies.(Wikipedia). If you are interested in, please have a look at his works. I would suggest some of these crime novels: . Le Charretier de la 'Providence' (1931) ; (The Carter of 'La Providence') . La Maison du canal (1933) (The House by the Canal) . The Yellow Dog (Le chien jaune, France, 1932) . The Hanged Man of Saint Pholien (1931) ... and many more. His famous atmospheric descriptions of moody, misty ports, of Paris in the 30s-60s are really stunning. In his investigations, Maigret's method is to put himself in another person's place in order to discover why the crime was committed, rather than just finding out whodunit.(Wikipedia). Best greetings

🤘🏻

Your recommendations are timely since I have Ms. Christie on my books to read list without any books. Thanks,

please any one can help? spolier alert- the ss killed 6 people in many years and then a lot in a year. why? what was the rush? i didnt get that. please of anyone knows help!

It's like The Da Vinci Code with vampires.

The Christie Family asked! Hannah to write a Poirot Continued novel. Hannah gave a new ‘voice’ to Poirot name Edward Catchpool from Scotland Yard to clarify a different approach or view of the same character. (Maybe this new voice is what people are complaining). have read all 78 of Agatha and the 4 of Sophie and I find Sophie to be Wonderful.

Theo is a disgusting person. You want him dead. He has no redeeming qualities.

Well said.

Wonderful. Shirley Jackson is very scary

It's quite astonishing how many people mispronounce the word 'wrath'.

You should also read Raymond Chandler's the big sleep and lady in the lake!

Where is your accent from! I love listening to you!

Loved Gabriel knight

Glad to see Marion Holcomb but was hoping to See Mina Harker, great video cheers!

I also thought that there was something wrong with my copy of the book when the new characters were introduced 😂

🤘🏻

I appreciate the review. I don't think it would be in my wheelhouse because of the types of things you pointed out. No doubt there are good points to it as you said. I prefer your previous background :)

Where can i download it

This my dissertation topic 😮

You hated kinderman that’s it

Yeah this was boring

I absolutely disagree! I loved this novel so much. The characters are not what you expect, the setting is amazing and eerie, the slow burn is totally worth the wait and the ending is shocking and very well done. I’m actually looking for more books like this as I loved it so much.

What, no James Joyce?

6 minutes into the review and its like "Whoa guys so like, its set into nazi alternate universe and like nazis are bad and like main character nazi and like nazis dude"

I really love this book. 😅 how evil and mean the plant was always freaked me out! Lol

So Bookworms, do you like true crime? What's the one case you'd like to read about?

🤘🏻

The father in this book is the world's biggest moron. All his problems with Cynthia arise from the fact that he CAN'T SHUT HIS BIG MOUTH! 😂

Huckleberry Finn took place in Missouri not Mississippi.

I just finished reading this book the start felt repetitive but as I got deeper into the book the more i enjoyed it.

This book took me 3 months to finish! I just couldn’t at times 🥱 And are you talking about the uncle Mr. Fairlie? As the worst character coz bro wth was that man even on?

I tend to agree with your review. The book would’ve been better with a heavy editing. There were times when I just jumped ahead and didn’t feel as though I missed something. Like another person commented- I think it would’ve been great to also get a glimpse into the Mayan’s perspective. As you said the characters were extremely unlikable - only the German acted in a way that made me feel sad when his time came.

Thank you for doing this review. I agree with you that it doesn't really work as a story, but I have a soft spot for it, anyway. I love the narrator's voice - seems like he's very fond of all his characters, and I love his gentle sense of humor.
