Hard book to read , sad story of an alcoholic mother but so well written that I really enjoyed it . The main character is so likable and sweet that you can’t help cheering for him and hoping things turn out right for him .

The beauty of this book is that although the story is engaging, the characters are so well developed, that I found them to be the best part of the book. While the book is titled The Boy from the Woods, it’s not really about him, but about how things unfold around him. It’s more about the terrible tying times of high school and adolescence and what happens when those who go unpunished for their crimes as a youth grow up to be an adult and view themselves above it all. This is a great book.

Great light read, funny with lots of magical and southern charm. Loved the first and now loved the second !!!!

Excellent historical fiction read. Interesting characters, storyline and ending.

Part of recgraves seies set in scottish msnor on new years eve. Christie style mystery set in modern times

King is my all-time favorite author and the only reason I gave this book 4 rather than 5 stars is that it’s a bit dark, even for King and I had some trouble getting through parts of it. And unlike much of King’s other work, which is really about human nature and how people will react in certain situations, this one is primarily about some really terrible creatures. The books two main characters are Dan Torrence, the young boy, now a man, who survived the story described in “The Shining”, and a young girl named Abra who shares Dan’s ability to “shine”. They come together in this story to battle the evil creatures but they also discover something about themselves and their relationship. It’s not for the faint of heart, but if you like a story that may frighten you, then you will enjoy this one.

The ending was so unexpected! Read this book in one day loved it!

I continue to be amazed by how effectively this author can combine an intense level of humor and violence, and maybe that is what draws me to her books. In this book, one of her earlier ones, Stephanie Plum and her on-again off-again boyfriend Joe Morelli are off-again. This means Stephanie is fee to enjoy her time with Ranger the mysterious man she sometimes partners with. And yes, there is the expected destruction of a car, and a stun gun that only works when you don’t want it too; all the things we look forward to in her books.

Let me start off by saying that I am not a fan of biographies for the simple reason that not everything in a person’s life will be interesting,,,or so I thought until I read this book. Just about every minute of this book kept me engaged and wondering what would happen next. And to say that it is about an immigrant from Yemen who is working as a doorman and want to start a business importing coffee from Yemen doesn’t do it justice. It is the amazing story of a young man committed to improving the life of coffee farmers in his home country and of someone who will literally do anything to accomplish that. Excellent read!

Cozy mystery on the series
