“Charles Talent Manx the Third at your service, my dear! CEO of Christmasland Enterprises, director of Christmasland Entertainment, president of fun! Also His Eminence, the King Shit of Turd Hill, although it doesn’t say that on my card.”
I LOVED MANX! I know he's supposed to be the villain in this story but he thinks he's a good guy so surely that redeems him in some way ? No? He definitely goes down as one of my favoritest bad guys.
I've read a number of Hill's books and found them to be good. Not great, but well enough to keep me coming back.
But this story here is EPIC.
It's definitely a clunker of a book, 984 pages on my Kindle. And it feels like a clunker. It is by no means a fast read and I sorta kinda blame that on the middle of the story. It started off and ended with a flourish but the middle had a somewhat slower pace. That being said, my attention never wavered. EVER.
I'm super stoked (yes, I said stoked) for the TV show now.

Thanks for the heads up! I bought it last week for 9.99 only to realize I accidentally bought the Spanish edition. :/
Oh no 👎 that sounds like something I would do. You can get a refund from most dealers. It's especially easy to do with Amazon.
I read this one in 4 days, it's long but I liked it so much, it read like it was closer to 500 pages! I hope you enjoy it, it's going to be a tv show soon!
Thanks, Amanda 💖 I had no idea it was going to be a TV show. That's awesome. Well, at least I THINK it's awesome. I mean, I haven't read the book yet. Even when I don't like the book it can still make a great tv show. Like Outlander for example. Or You. Not YOU personally but the book You.
Anyways. I haven't slept in three days.

Oh my!!! What an amazing comment! Thank you! I hope you LOVE it!

Ohhhhh, Felicia! This is one of my favorites. I just finished rereading it for the second time. You need to read it for Christmas, love.
Great review Ms. Felicia! Manx scared the crap out of me!!! Oddly enough, I went to a restaurant in Sanibel, Florida where it was Christmas everyday.. and dude, it gave me the chills.. I was waiting for Manxy to come around the corner. To me, Vic McQueen rocked.. but I get how you loved Manxy! This was the best Joe Hill book ever, though I loved the Fireman too.
Fabulous review Felicia! Glad you enjoyed! I’ve never read anything from this author...maybe that needs to change!🤔
Thanks Susanne 💖 I thought Manx was hilarious. Bing was the scary one for me. Creepy McCreeperstein. I can't wait to see how Manx is portrayed in the TV show.
Love your enthusiasm for this "clunker," Felicia, and I'm so happy that this was miles better than your last read! Wonderful review!
Fantastic review, Felicia! This one has been on my tbr forever. I am going to snatch it on Overdrive. Oooh! 984 pages on your kindle, that is probably why I havent read it yet. Chunky books always intimidate me. This one looks so different than what I usually read so I am definitely going to read it. 💝
Good to read your review. I've had this book sitting around for more than a year. Time to read it (the hardcover, heavy copy).
Felicia, I'm not sure if I should thank you for a 5 star review of an amazing book, because now I kinda feel I need to put this doorstop of a novel on my tbr, ha! Terrific review though! 😊
I tried to read this once before and I think the timing wasn't right. If you loved this, I'm giving it another go. I like everything else he's written, so why not? GREAT review!
