This book was very well written based on historical facts and accounts. I looked further into this particular story in history and found that this author conducted a lot of research and is said to be the most accurate story regarding Olive and the Oatmans lives and occurrences. I definitely recommend this to anyone who loves history.

Cozy mystery on the series

Pretty grim reading - suggested to me by my son who knows I like horror , this is a horror like story but it is true crime - could have been edited down a few hundred pages but the story was written in a journalistic fashion .

So here is a perfect example of why I try really hard not to give up on a book once I start it. The beginning is filled with a description of so many odd named people and one line of their back story that I almost put this down for good. But I hung in there and was rewarded. It’s really a touching tale of life in a community in Brooklyn in 1969 and all the trouble and beauty that went with it. It was a time when everyone knew everyone and taking care of one another was everything. There are a couple of just very silly parts, but overall the writing is beautiful and inspired. Hang in there; it’s worth it!

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

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.

So entertaining!
