I am so tired of that misogynistic old geezer(!) and the mystery is soooo boring, not to mention the casual racism throughout. Not sorry to dnf

I adore Seargant Richard Cuff, but I bet Sherlock Holmes would disagree, that he is the best detective in England.

Someone take away this man [Gabriel Betteredge]'s pen! Or I will and stab him with it! In order not(!) to read another aggravating sentence of his view on the women in the house and his conduct concerning female individuals. It's disgusting!

Sadly a dnf. Before the time-jump a 3.5 stars. I don't care for the twist at all! [Spoilers] The doctor gone and the aunt back to her old, miserable self, is just too heartbreaking.

What the f***ing hell kinda time-jump is that? Are you kidding me?

So glad to have Polly and her husband home with Pollyanna. I've missed them; even so the Boston episode was very entertaining.

That last Ruth chapter might have scarred me for life. I need a break from this book.

F*** this! Someone should have told me this was a Snow White retelling. DNF!!! Will 100% not continue.

Very atmospheric, classic haunted house setup. The Asylum, the House and The Diary are well chosen and the scenes are eerie and funny in equal measure.

I love that Duane is narrating part of the story. I don't care for the affair retelling or the foray into Hell House.

The ending was worth it. Goosebumps! But it dragged something awful in the middle.

The Machineries of Joy - 2 stars
The One who waits - 3.5 stars
Tyrannosaurus Rex - 2.5 stars

The Cosmic Poachers - 3.5 stars
Progeny - 2.5 stars
Some kinds of Life - 3.5 stars

Summer of Night - 2.5 stars.

Duane was the best, the story was just okay, some outdated language, and now I know way more about firearms than I ever wanted to.

What does it say about me, that I feel sorry for all those dead people who can't die?

This book is slowly turning into a Stand by Me / From story.

This prepubescent come-on is really icky... and what is with that italian-egyptian-mumbo-jumbo, btw?

I hate it so much when my favourite characters die. R.I.P.

Are they even friends? Duane is researching, Dale and Lawrence are playing, Mike is being preached at and Jim is on sick leave... Not at all like the loosers' club so far.
[Spoiler]
Plus, I think I like the alien clown better than the evil shadow ghost zombies.

Hannibal is extra and the story meanders a little... and I keep picturing Will instead of Clarice in their "interactions".

Much like Jeepers Creepers 2 even better than the first installment.
Couldn't put it down, loved every minute of it. 5 stars
