'Salem's Lot by Stephen King
review
PagesAndConstellations
Pickpick

I enjoyed this one MUCH more than I was expecting too! Very funny and sweet with subtly handed subjects such as PTSD from abuse, bisexuality, racism and chronic illness. The "Grand Tour" turns into such a madcap rat race across Europe I found myself wishing I was there with the characters. I can't recommend this enough.

Real horrorshow. The Russian based slang can be a bit confusing when you first get into it. However, once you get used to it it's a really interesting look at free-will and social conditioning.

Mehso-so

I know I'm probably too stupid to understand it, but it really didn't do anything for me.

Oh my goodness I had SO. MUCH. FUN. Reading this! Such a great, swashbuckling adventure. The world building could be a little bit rambling at the start, but once you get past that get ready to fall in love with some right bastards.

"It was love at first sight, at last sight, at ever and ever sight."

This book is completely enthralling, in the "oh God the protagonist is a complete monster" kind of way.

I'll be honest, I was torn between giving this a 'pick' rating and a 'so-so' rating because, as I said on Goodreads, the more philosophical sections of this book can get incredibly boring. Enjoyed it for the most part though!!

Picked up this little beauty for only Q9 today!!

Such a nail-biter!! I originally read this about a decade ago so decided to refresh my memory of it. It's far more anxiety inducing than I remember 😱
