Last big book push of 2013
Hey guys and girls, so I have been absent for a while and that is because work has not permitted enough time to read or write (bummer). But I did finish two of my last books for 2013. I do feel semi accomplished. I had to but in a lot of time in order to push threw those books before the year ended. I have not meet the large read goal I have set for myself. It was a good effort. Tomorrow starts 2014 and I will be more modest with my goals, all that matters is that I did finish reading the two I started before Christmas. Stay tuned in 2014 as I bring you more news about books and literature in 2014!

My gush on NOS4A2 by Joe Hill
Okay so I just read the best book "NOS4A2" by Joe Hill. It is a must read for anyone who loves the sci fi part of reading this book is a roller coaster of emotions. I love the fact that Joe drew on so many great elements for this book. I found my self just going on and on reading non stop about Charlie Manx and Vic McQueen and the deep inscapes of there minds.
For starters the title "NOS4A2" is German for vampire, and the book really revolves around two characters Vic McQueen and Charlie Manx. Okay now here is were the book gets so interesting.. both of the characters have the ability to create a world of there own inside there head threw the use of different items, Vic has bikes and well Charlie Manx has a vintage wraith Rolls Royce.
Well you know how they say how "To much of a great thing can be bad?" that is the case with both characters, Vic uses a bridge to help find the lost and the result is a sharp pain in her left eye, why the left eye? According to Maggie Leigh another character in the book with the same ability as Vic "All creativity is created by the right side of the brain which controls the left eye." So with Manx his vintage car his is "tool" and the result is that the car makes him younger and younger and a shell of a man with no emotion.
Charlie discovered Vic when she was just a kid, and he was surprise to find another person with the same talent he had, she was the only one to escape Manx and not be taken to "Christmasland" Manx's twisted little fantasy world.. As time passes on Charlie spends time chasing down Vic, until he finds her, kidnapped her son with a plan to take him to "Christmasland". The final showdown of these two characters was amazing, speaking of amazing I was held in a moment of awe at the ending.. It was a great way to end the book Mr. Hill. I truly enjoyed this book and I will re read it in 2014!
