⭐️⭐️⭐️ Attenberg is an expert at family dramas. She writes believable, often relatable characters and dialogue. I saw her speak two years ago; she‘s very cool and uniquely stylish. The kind of aura that makes you want grab a coffee with her. Multigenerational family stories are not something I‘m usually drawn to. I think it‘s because they often feel similar to one another. That‘s probably an unfair generalization, but 1-2 a year is all I can do.

BarbaraBB Love the cover but I am afraid that, based on your review, it‘d be a 3⭐️ for me too - at the most. (edited) 9h
britt_brooke @BarbaraBB She‘s tough because I always like her books, but never love. 4h

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ How does he do it? How does King make horror so human? The focus isn‘t fear, nor the horror elements, it‘s the people, and the mundanity of their everyday lives. The Terror lives on the periphery, waiting. A father enveloped in grief allows naiveté to take hold. Questionable decisions are made. “Sometimes dead is better,” honey. There are some conveniences in this plot, but they work. I‘m not mad about it.

For much of the story, you have no idea about the why. Which I think adds to the suspense. This felt a lot like being on a rollercoaster blindfolded. The fear of not knowing what might happen next is delicious. And it really unfolds brilliantly. It covered so many themes I wasn't expecting! Which gave it great depth. Even at the end, it just kept giving me more things to ponder. I would love to know some specific backstory. I really enjoyed this.

This #Magic title is from my #HauntedShelf TBR as well as #CastTheDie & I hope to start it soon.

I‘m also going to use it for the #BookScavengerHunt #HotDrink prompt for Team #Flerken points 👻

Cujo | Stephen King

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Cujo was the best boy until he wasn‘t, but unlike the human monsters in this book, he couldn‘t help it. King is very good at making insane things seem real. This story feels like it could‘ve happened. In his memoir On Writing, King states that he was regretfully so deep in his alcoholism, he doesn‘t really remember writing this book. #coverlove

Mehso-so

⭐️⭐️ A family drama / thriller with all the usual types of characters. Too many convenient coincidences for me and the resolution was anticlimactic. A other one where the cover grabbed me. #coverlove
