Review | Horns by Joe Hill

I am writing my first ever review of any book ever. And I'm so excited about it all.

I got my mom to buy this book for me and I'm happy she did because it was such a wonderful experience. The movie was about to pop up in theaters and I really wanted to read this book before it did. Just because I wanted to know what all the hype was about. And frankly speaking, the book was better.

I updated this post. Update from Dec. 27, 2018

This is what I had said before:

I would like to write my review for this book. The movie was about to be released and I wanted to know what the hype was about so I grabbed the book. Frankly speaking, I liked the book better.

Thoughts:

This was the first book that I read in a long time that was actually completed. I finished reading it and was so proud of myself for it. I liked the story but at the same time, I was bored. Mostly because of the flashbacks. But I did manage to finish it in a couple of weeks. 

The real reason why I picked this book was for the movie. I wanted to read it then see the movie so I could compare them.

I was interested the whole time I was reading it and curious about what could happen next.

Update from Dec. 27, 2018

I'm so thankful for this book for so many reasons. Not only was it thilling enough for me to want to continue readng but it was also a book I had read from page one till the last page. Before this book that wouldnt have been possible if Im being honest with myself. No mtter ow had I tried. I either gave up in anger because I couldnt understand. Or just didnt try at all. Ad now that I have sort of figure out that reading books in English is so much more smoother for me to understant and to like. I have so much passion for books and reading. And Im gld that Horns found m because thats how I feel. That this book mades its way towards me so that I can discover my love of books and how much I would love, not only the communit, but to eventeually write a stoyr myself. Which is something I wouldnt have thought would be possible.
