It was an ok book. The thing I found most annoying was the dialogue. It's written how it sounds instead of the way it's spelled. That's one of my pet peeves when reading.

I loved her book The Bean Trees, but didn't care for Poisonwood as much. Quite a different tone to it.

I guess my impression of Poe is that he was more of a mystery writer than horror. My top five in horror... H.P. Lovecraft Clive Barker Stephen King Anne Rice Peter Straub

From a Buick 8. Just didn't care for it.

My favorite Stephen King movie is Delores Clairborne. My favorite book is The Talisman.

Hi dreamcatcher :) You might like George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series. The first book is A Game of Thrones.

I'm not sure I would want to live there. At least not in the mutated areas. ;)

The first time I read it I had a lot of fun reading it. I was in the mood for a fast paced page turner and that's what I got. The second time I read it was for a book club discussion two years later, and it wasn't as good as a read. Much of the book's appeal is the cliffhanger after each chapter.

Why should I? You already said you didn't like it, which is fine. We all have different reading tastes. :)

I've only read the first one. I thought it was ok. A pleasant way to spend an afternoon. :)

I don't mind a long series. I do quit reading though if the quality starts goin downhill, then you know it's just a moneymaker and they could care less what they are writing about.

It's only 500 pages. For me that is the average amount of pages in the kind of books I read.

I really enjoyed reading this book. It wasn't a long book, but it still had the epic feel to it.

I didn't care for this book. The characters just didn't appeal to me for some reason.

The Talisman is an excellent dark fantasy book. I didn't care for it's sequel The Black House.
