Fun fact, the cover glows in the dark! All the "lights" and font glow. Makes the cover a little more fun 😊
Wait?! What?! Mine does not glow in the dark 😅 is there a special edition that does? Or did I just get pranked 🤣
No it doesn’t you troll
It'd be cool to have Jerome and/or Barbara have their own stand-alone novel.
It was good and very engaging but at the same time I feel like there could’ve been more twists involved
I haven't finished yet, so not going to watch ... yet, but I'm really enjoying it so far.
My review is spoiler free, but I get it if you want to wait 😅 I avoid any and all reviews of books I’m in the middle of usually 🙈 let me know what you think of it when you’re done 🤓
I love that you did another book review ❤ Holly is on my shelf and I can’t wait to get into this one. I reread Mr Mercedes trilogy and The Outsider but needed a break… So I started Jane Eyre, but it’s slowing me down a lot (also loving it). I hope I’m able to start If it bleeds soon and after that Holly.. What’s your favorite King book, and what’s your least favorite?
Thank you so much🥰 I definitely get that you needed a break! I read old classics super slow too. I don't know why. Maybe because of the way that the older type of language that doesn't flow as easily in my brain.
I hope you enjoy Holly when you get to it!! ✨
My favorites are The Dark Tower series, Bag of Bones, and Under the Dome. I think my least favorite so far has been Sleeping Beauties. What about you? 🤓
@@ChristinadeVries Under the dome is very good! I have a lot of favorites I gues: the shining, Misery, Salem’s Lot… Desperation was my first Stephen King and I’ve reread that one a lot. So that’s my special one 😅. I really didn’t like The long walk and The girl who loves Tom Gordon
I had mixed feelings about The Long Walk too. Misery is such a brilliant story! And Gerald's Game too! The amount of good stories he has published over the years is just mind boggling🤯
Definitely makes me want to reread the Mercedes trilogy.
Favourite king the green mile. Masterpiece. Least favourite thinner. One of the few books of kings where he really bored me.
Huge Stephen King fan! Haven’t read anything in years.
So many good King books 🙌🏻 I haven’t loved all of his newer releases, but there’s been some gems for sure ✨
I just read The Outsider, so I'm very behind on the books. 🤣 I have to read If It Bleeds before I can get around to Holly, but I adore Holly as a character!
I feel like I'm just behind on reading in general 😅 But happy that I finally am able to sit down and enjoy reading again. I've really missed it!
Holly is such a great character! I really do hope we get more stories with her🙌🏻
@@ChristinadeVries Can't wait to read the two books!
Brilliant cover as well.
I like this one the best out of the two I’ve seen, but I’m interested to see if there are other special editions out there that I haven’t seen yet 🤓
I read the Mr. Mercedes trilogy and The Outsiders. I can't wait to read Holly. Were there any of his books you haven't read?
I hope you like it ☺️ Oh, there are so many I haven’t read. Slowly and surely making my way through his works 🙌🏻
@@ChristinadeVries I read his books slowly too.
@stevenpratt7369 It was such a treat ✨ I did the same with Fairy Tale as well. No rushing through. Just enjoying the story 🥰
@@ChristinadeVries I was wondering, if you could be any character in any of King's stories, who would you want to be?
@stevenpratt7369 Oooo!! That is a brilliant but also tough question 🤓 If just for a day, I would probably go for Randall Flagg. Just because I’m curious to know how such an evil mind works 😅 but I don’t think I would like to be him for much longer than that. Probably don’t have the stomach for it 😅 Who would you choose?
Just finished this in England Birmingham uk here :)
It’s an ok read. Out of the all the books from the bull
Hidges trilogy to the outsider and if it bleeds
Holly ranks the lowest tbh here’s why:
The title is misleading for one it should have been called HOLLY & BARBARA as it felt like she was being wrote more than Holly through a good portion but also that’s why the book ranks so low imo because it was just so boring listening about poetry and could have been condensed massively. This books was just a tad longer than it needed be but Stephen king does a lot in a lot of his books but sometimes when he does it like UNDER THE DOME &IT it’s perfect but the context of the story but with holly it just was a little too expansive when talking about babrabar but even if that wasn’t an issue the actually story was good but because of what has been written previously with her experiences just makes this seem abit boring
Great review. Really enjoyed the book. Holly a great character. I’d give it 4 stars. Hope King writes another Holly book. There’s plenty of mileage in her character.
Thanks ☺️
I think so too! So let’s cross our fingers and hope for more 🤞🏻🤞🏻
@@ChristinadeVriesdefinitely.
Any more reviews soon?
Yes! I’m doing a list of Christmas Horror recommendations in about a week or so 😁
@@ChristinadeVries ok sounds great.
Top 🙂🙂🙂
Thanks 😁😁😁
This book was not poopy
Top 3 King Crime novels 1/ Mr Mercedes. 2/ Billy Summers. 3/ Holly.
Mr Mercedes is definitely number 1 for me as well 🙌🏻
@@ChristinadeVries what are you currently reading? I’m just about to start a reread of the first king book I ever read.The classic that is misery.
@matthewmedley8532 that’s awesome! My first King book was Bag of Bones. I want to reread that one soon too. Right now I’m reading Nothing but Blackened Teeth by Cassandra Khaw 🤓
@@ChristinadeVries bag of bones very good too. Sounds like a horror book. Is it good?
@matthewmedley8532 It’s really good so far! Has a very classical haunted house kind of feel to it 👻
You should really tell folks there’ll be spoilers before you blab
Pretty sure I did not spoil anything 🤷🏻♀️
