Although the dysfunctional family planning this wedding we’re interesting , the story never evolved into something that made me love it

While this book addressed an important issue, namely the treatment of Chinese Americans, I did not find it that enjoyable. It has some very funny parts, but the format of the book, being that of a screen play, was not to my liking.

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.

This is an amazingly beautiful story about loss; loss of a spouse, loss of a parent, loss of a true love. And it is about how people cope with loss and how they sometimes find beauty and purpose in themselves and others. It’s also about getting older and what that can mean. Great book; I highly recommend it.

Despite the horrors depicted in the book it gave me hope. Love always wins over hate. Easy read. Highly recommend

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.

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

I read this book in one sitting, it kept me guessing at every turned page. The relationship between Bailey and Hannah is so on point of a sixteen year olds gurl and a step mother dealing with a mystery and learning to love each other in the process! 10/10 recommend

Highly entertaining! Read 600 plus pages in 2 nights

What I love about this book is that it’s not the typical “who-dunnit”, where the chase leads from person to person, eliminating suspects. In this book, there is so much going on with the plot that everyone is relevant in the end. And the lines between the good guys and the bad guys is not clearly drawn. Someone is accosting woman on the streets and now a young girl has gone missing. It must be the creepy guy who lives on the block, right? But then again….
