Bookreview: Stephen King

Hello everyone! Today I'm going to review one of Stephen King's thrillers.
Since I'm Dutch, the title of the book is in Dutch as well but it's translated to "Dreamcatcher". In this book we follow Sam. The story starts off when he has to do a presentation because another one of his collegues couldn't do it. Sam doesn't know how to do presentations or speeches so he asks his secretary Naomi for advice. She tells him to get some books and get tips from there. So he does.

 

The only problem is that you have to return the books in time, or else the "book police" will come after you and do horrible things! Only, Sam forgets about the books. Next thing he knows, he's lost them!

In his search for the books he meets Dirty Dave, who's responsable for the missing books and the posters of the book police in the scary library. He also meets a whole new side of Naomi. And what's up with the library? Why does it keep on changing? Why does the book police look so familiar to him? Why does he hate licorice but knows exactly what it smells and tastes like? And then there's this girl.... Ardelia!

Sam is in a parellell, terrifying world where nothing is what it seems.

I absolutely loved this book. It was scary, yes, but that's why Stephen King is the thriller King. Luckely it wasn't so scary that I couldn't read it, which has happened with one of his books, it just gave me nightmares! Haha!

I also love how unexpected things happen in this book and how there's played with flashbacks and flashforwards. Really great, loved this story! It takes a true genious to come up with something like this!

Thanks for reading!

Book haul: WO 1, Stephen King, Alex Kava

Hello my loves! Sorry for the late update, I had the first day of my internship today and it took me quite a while to figger out I didn't have any posts planned anymore. I have shown you the beauty stuff that I got while shopping last week, now I'm going to show you the books. I got a few books that looked very appealing and interesting to me.

Stephen King. Of course. Of course I got Stephen King! I love him! I saw this book laying in the bookstore and I knew I would take it with me rightaway. It's called "The Shining" (well at least it is called "The Shining in Dutch, but I think that'll be the English translation too....?)

I also got a book about WO1 because... Well I'm fascinated with the two world wars and I (want to) keep on learning about them. Also, I don't know what I want to study in college but there's a good chance that it's going to be history so...

And my third book is by Alex Kava. I think she has a lovely writing style. So far, I've read two of her books and I've loved both of them. They  never bore me.

Thanks for reading!

Book haul: Three times Stephen King!

Do you ever just get the feeling of not wanting to do anything. Like hobbies, aren't you ever tired of them? Normally I love reading books but since the summer break, I haven't really read much anymore. Also, it stunned me how long it's been since I've done a bookreview on the blog! Woah, it's crazy! Anyways, I want to get myself back on track, that's why today I'm doing a book haul of my latest three Stephen King books.

I have a love/hate relationship with books: I do have to admit that they are written so incredibly well, it's almost too good to be true, but on the other hand, the scary parts are also live like and they scare me so much! Often times, when I've read one or two chapters, I still think about them late at night and I get even more scared! I'm a real chicken. However, I continue to buy Stephen King books. Here are the three books I recently got! 

"Lisey's story"

 

This one, which I can't find the translation of, but it starts with a prologue about how his kid is afraid of the "book cops" from the library and how he used to be afraid of that too. The story is inspired on the book cops.

 

And last but not least: The Talisman! I hear many great things about this book so I will for sure try to read it as fast as I can! Is anyone of you interested in a particular book (to read bookreviews about)?

Let me know! What are your favourite books by Stephen King?

Thanks for reading!
