It’s a G G G Ghost!

December 19, 2014 by Alli Leave a Comment

One one hand, I want to finish off some reviews to get myself closer to my goal but on the other hand I have already scraped together two and I don’t really have that much else to say. To compound this problem it has been a while since I read this book so some of the details are fading. I have been writing book reviews for Cannonball Read for like 5 years (crazy!) and it does get hard to come up with new ways to […]

I’m not entirely sure what the protagonist went out drinking, but I doubt I’d want any of it

November 21, 2014 by Malin Leave a Comment

3.5 stars Pretty much exactly a year after his girlfriend Merrin Williams was found raped and murdered, Ignatius “Ig” Perrish wakes up after getting blackout drunk and discovers horns spouting from his forehead. He’s not entirely sure they’re not a hallucination at first, but when he discovers how people behave around him due to the horns, he realises that they are sadly all too real. Turns out the horns make everyone around him spill their deepest, darkest secrets. They confess to their most shameful wishes […]

I can think of a number of situations when it would be convenient to have a Head key.

November 19, 2014 by Malin 1 Comment

This review may contain spoilers for the first volume in the series, so if you want to remain unspoiled, you may want to proceed carefully. Following a shocking death that dredges up memories of their father’s murder, Kinsey and Taylor are thrown into choppy emotional waters, and turn to their new friend, Zach Wells, little suspecting Zach’s dark secret. Meanwhile, six-year-old Bode Locke tries to puzzle out the secret of the head key, and uncle Duncan is jarred into the past by a disturbingly familiar […]

Incredibly Delayed Book Review by Alli

July 9, 2014 by Alli 1 Comment

  So I finished reading this book in February, then my son asked to read it and I had these big plans for us to write a collaborative review together but now it is July and he has still not finished reading it. I can’t really judge too much, although I have done quite a bit of reading over these last few months, I have not written a review since March. I could make all sorts of fancy excuses but really who cares, I been […]

Like father, like son

June 1, 2014 by popcultureboy 3 Comments

I mentioned in my review of Horns last year that if I had Stephen King for a father, I wouldn’t have been a writer for love nor money. The shadow he casts is impressive, to say the least (and Mr Mercedes is imminent, about which I am very excited). So if it were me, the prospect would have been too daunting to undertake. But Hill dropped his family name and tried for as long as possible to keep his origins out of the press. It wasn’t that long, since […]
