Book Review: Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill

 












This is the second time I've read this book, and indeed, just finished it an hour ago. (I won't be giving any spoilers in this review).

 

After completing this book, I honestly aspire to Joe Hill's level of craftsmanship. The story and writing were tight and the suspense was unrelenting. There was never a point where the story bogged down or felt contrived. This was honestly one of the eeriest and best books I've read in a long time.

 

Now,  all that being said, this book is not for the faint of heart. There are some themes, scenes, and events that are a bit "off the beaten path." If you, as a reader, are accustomed to PG-13 reading fare, then this may not be the book for you.

Next up, I'll be reading his collection of short stories, which I've already read, but I love Joe Hill's writing, and it will be a pleasure to reread:



His website, by the way, is: www.joehillfiction.com
