It creeps me out how much Joe Hill writes like his dad. I'm not exaggerating. IT. CREEPS. ME. OUT. There were moments where the memories of my teenage years came flooding back to me...alone in my room reading "Carrie", wishing I had telekinetic powers because that would be cool (not so I could murder all the popular kids). And considering how much my teenage years sucked, this was not really a pleasant sensation.

However, I must say that I really enjoyed this book. It's been too long since I was this excited about a book. I couldn't wait to get in my car so I could start listening to it again. I loved all the characters (especially Maggie Lee, but I'm a bit biased) and thought he did a great job of creating heroes with some major flaws (my favorite kind of hero). And while some parts were predictable, the story itself was original enough to keep me coming back for more.
