Magnus reviewed Christine by Stephen King
Magnus reviewed Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl
Review of "Man's Search for Meaning" on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
The first portion of the book is the most important to read. The second portion is more for those interested in human psychology and therapy.
Magnus reviewed No Country for Old Men by Cormac McCarthy
Magnus reviewed The Martian by Andy Weir (The Martian, #1)
Magnus reviewed Cell: A Novel by Stephen King
Review of 'The Loudest Voice in the Room: How the Brilliant, Bombastic Roger Ailes Built Fox News-and Divided a Country' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Very well researched! It came out before the sexual harassment allegations came to light but Ailes actions and comments in the book definitely hint at it. America is still feeling the negative repercussions of his actions and will continue to do so for years to come. I'm extremely glad this horrible man is rotting in his grave.
Magnus reviewed If It Bleeds by Stephen King
Review of 'If It Bleeds' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Pretty decent short story collection. I mostly picked it up for the main story in the book ("If It Bleeds") because I'm trying to catch up on the adventures and character development of Holly in anticipation of the new book this year.
As expected the story I enjoyed the most was "If It Bleeds" because I adore the character of Holly Gibney and this was a solid monster of the week esc story. "Mr. Harrigan's Phone" and "Rat" were pretty solid and made me feel like I was watching episodes of the classic Twilight Zone tv show. "The Life of Chuck" is interesting because I didn't particularly enjoy the first part of the story but the upbeat second part and fun final story really gripped me. Overall a good read!
Magnus reviewed The Amityville Horror: A True Story by Jay Anson
Review of 'The Amityville Horror' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
Interesting but kinda annoying that it's constantly going "This is true" and "We have multiple accounts so it's basically fact". The priest's story is completely irrelevant and uninteresting, so much time is spent on him going "Oh no I have a cold maybe I should call the family". He barely does anything to impact the story of the family and I find it hilarious that he receives so much more bodily harm than any of the family members for just talking to them on the phone. <br/> <br/>
