Misery

I have a soft spot for Stephan King books, but even without that soft spot I still love this book. It is about a man who writes romance novels. He gets caught in a bad situation were he is drunk driving through a winter storm in the rockies, and as expected he gets into a car crash. He awakens in the guest bed of one of his fans, with two broken legs. She starts out as the average fan girl, but soon he sees that her mental state is rather deteriorated. She subjects him to cruel punishment for and forces him to write a character back to life in a book for her. This book is amazing and honestly I would recommend this book to anyone.

the shining

I think that this book is amazing. It had an amazing suspense element to it and the best part is that there is more then one villain which I think makes this all the mrs fun to read. The shining is about a man who takes his son and wife up to an old hotel because he has gotten a new job as care taker. The mans son has a strange gift of being able to know things before they happen. But the twist: there has been multiple deaths in this hotel, one being the sucide and the murdering spree performed by the previous caretaker. I would recommend this book to someone who enjoys suspense but does not want horribly graphic content.

I liked this book. First off let me start off with the fact that it is Stephan King, so if you like scary stuff I would already recommend this book to you.
The Shining takes place boulder Colorado. Our protagonist Jack, has just been fired from his job because he hit one of his former students for defacing his car. Trying to start clean with his wife and son, he moves to boulder. Jack takes a job taking care of an old hotel in the moutons during the winter. But there is one important detail, the last man who took this job murdered his family.
I like this book so far its really long but cleverly written.

an a abundance of katherines

I liked this book. It had some funny moment but it also had a serious sense which was nice. This book is about a boy named Colin who is constantly falling in love with girls named Katherine. In the book he has just been dumped by his nineteenth Katherine so his friend Hassan decides to take him on a rode trip. They end up in the town of Gunshot Tennesse and decide to stay there for a while. Colin in an effort to never get dumped again decides to make a formula the predicts the sustainability of a relationship. I liked this book I thought it was funny but it took a long time to get to a spot where it was interesting for me.
