Padfoot's Lazy Book Club discussion

Just ordered my copy of Horns. So excited to read it!!

Ive never done a read-along before and no one else has posted but I just finished part one and this is what i thought. I feel so sorry for Ig. The love of his life is raped and murdered, and everyone thinks he did it, that alone would be devastating to me. His dad destroyed the evidence that would prove other wise and the person who really did it was his best friend. Everyone in the town is so horrid, i know they are confessing their worst thoughts to the devil but still. His brother and the nun are the only people that are nice to him.

Oh my gosh, I just finished the first part, and holy cow. I am loving this book so far. Just like Ashley, I feel so sorry for Ig, and I just wish something would go right for him for once. The ending of part one was so intense to me. I feel like the emerging of the horns through his skin was very symbolic, as after that happened, the devil/demon inside him was released. It is arguable whether he had any demonic characteristics before the horns broke through, because he hadn't done anything bad before that happened. I am so excited to continue reading this book.

Just finished part 1 and I'm in awe...there are no words for how genius this novel is...must read part 2 immediately!

Wow everyone in his life really sucks.

Just finished reading up to this part. Feel so bad for Ig. Everyone is so mean to him. I don't think he killed her but when he gets drunk he doesn't remember what he did. So I'm flopping back and forth maybe he is the one. Why would he grow horns if he was innocent? That part doesn't make sense to me. I am enjoying the story though was in a bit of a reading slump but this one may pull me out of one.

Finished part one and oh my god guys! it reads very fast. If i was in his situation where people started telling me horrible things i think id just lose my mind, but Ig seems to be taking it all pretty well.

excited to see what happens.

Did anyone else laugh when he pushed his grandma down the hill? Or was that just my sick sense of humour?

I loved part one! I felt bad for Ig as well and thought that Ig might have killed his girlfriend.

I just finished part one and I have to agree with all of the above. The way people think of him makes me sick, but it really messes with my head like...I used to think it would be cool to know what people really thought of me but now I realize that I would never in a million years want to actually know the true thoughts of people. I would lose my mind.

But damn...the ending of Part 1 was brutal. If they do that right during the film, it better be gruesome and just as visually satisfying as I expect it to be. Does that sound sick? I think sick confessions sort of fits though, due to the circumstances haha.

This book so far is awesome! I definitely laughed when he pushed his grandma down the hill. She had it coming after all the horrible things she said. The horns are freaking me out a little, but I find all of the awful things that people say to him intriguing. It would be fascinating some days to be able to hear others thoughts.

I can't believe his brother knew his best friend killed Merrin all this time and never said anything! How could he possibly keep quite? So I'm so excited to see where this will take us next!
