21st Century Ghosts - Joe Hill discussion

Anyone started this yet? What do you think so far?

This book came out this week (on April 30). I saw that some wanted a group discussion, so here we are.

No spoilers here. I'll have a spoiler thread for us to use as we finish the book.

I started yesterday, but since I had to go out of town for a training, I didn't get a lot read.

I'm definitely intrigued so far though....

I'm really liking it so far. Engrossing story, engaging characters, although for a minute I thought there may have been a few too many. Now, I see how they're all coming together. I'm about 1/3 of the way through.

Here's a couple of quotes that really impressed me. They're both in the "Spicy Menace 1990" section.

(view spoiler)["You could look at birds all your life without ever knowing what was a sparrow and what was a blackbird, but we all know a swan when we see it. So it was with cars. Maybe you could not tell a Firebird from a Fiero, but when you saw a Rolls-Royce, you knew it." (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ "My first wife was like the rash you get from poison ivy. I couldn't stand her, but I couldn't keep my hands off her. She was an itch I scratched until I bled - and then I scratched it some more!" (hide spoiler)]

They don't spoil anything, but I hid them in case y'all would rather read them in the novel first...

Good thinking, Chris... it really is so much more fun when you discover sentences like that while you're reading the book...and with King's "puzzles"-- those that he does so love his Constant Readers to find!

It's driving me totally crazy, because Amazon sent my copy of "NOS4A2" at the same time I received "Unnatural Creatures" by Neil Gaiman.... a wealth of good books!!

Go for NOS4A2, B - there's some nice things to discover in here, I think. :)

Agreed, Becky.... I just couldn't wait to read Joe Hill!!

Oh, Oh.... this is one of the BEST books ever!!! Becky, get ready for a ride on Mr. Hill's leg!!

Lol I'm already firmly attached there!
