The Taking of Annie Thorne

After C J Tudor’s debut novel The Chalk Man being pretty good I highly anticipated this, her second novel.

But, even after reading the prologue I knew this book would be very similar to a famous novel by Stephen King (though King explained the situation in much more detail) and this book read like a modern day re-writing of that particular novel so I wasn’t really impressed at all though if you know nothing about Stephen King you’ll probably enjoy this plagaristic effort!!

I Am Pilgrim – Terry Hayes

WOW! What a Great Book!!

“This is the only thriller you’ll need to read this year ”

That’s the line on the book’s cover that grabbed me and forced my purchase of it and boy was I glad that I did.

Yes it’s pretty long, Yes there’s a lot going on but as lamen might say…

“IT’S VERY WELL WORTH IT”

I’m looking forward to the movie adaptation which is due for release in 2020 but I’m pretty confident that, although it probably will be pretty good, it won’t be near as good as the book so I’d Highly recommend that if you like a great thriller, you must read this book.

The Institute – Stephen King

The latest novel from the master of horror and another great read from the pen of Stephen King.

Not on a par with IT or The Stand but it’s certainly a book that Id recommend to anyone.

It’s a very enjoyable read with a few twists and turns along the way but overall really entertaining.

“Special kids are taken to The Institute where they undergo secret testing in order to save the world”

so some people say!

Make sure you check in, though it’s pretty difficult to check out until the end.
