I saw the original movie, and the remake - the original was one of the scariest horror films I've ever seen, while the remake just sucked. How is the book?


I'm not too far into it yet, but I agree with you about the original movie.

I've seen this book literally everywhere I go for so long now that I set out to get myself a copy once and for all, just so I finally know.

I enjoyed that one a lot. I don't know about him building a career on that one idea. I went to a lecture by him, and saw a lot less of the scientific approach that he took in that book. I had a long drive home to think about it, afterwards, and I felt like in his lecture he had gone too far in pathologizing various things. However, different people at the workshop had vastly different experiences and needs.

Just finished all three books in the Cormoran Strike series by Robert Galbraith (aka JK Rowling).
They are awesome. Go read them.
1. The Cuckoo's Calling
2. The Silkworm
3. Career of Evil.
:heart:
I am gutted that the next one is not out yet, and may be far off. Roll on "Lethal White."

one of my all time favourite books. I love the empty pages, the silences, maybe the only book I have felt created an atmosphere.
